The raven has long been of interest to creators of myths and legends. The raven was used as a symbol of rampage by the Vikings, who loved to paint them on their sails. In Norse mythology, the ravens Hugin? and Munin? sat on the god Odin's shoulders, and told him the news of the world. Natives of Northwestern North America consider Raven the Creator of the World.
