What is the central idea of "The Story of the Beginning" in From Asgard Stories: Tales from Norse Mythology? O The Midgard serpent rules over the world of men and must be obeyed O The dwarfs are banished to the center of Earth and are forbidden to come out during the day. The battles between the giants and the gods are a constant source of trouble to all living things. The Esir, with Odin as chief, sit in judgment of all living things they created in the world.
