"Týr" by Lorenz Frølich, 1895. Týr (/ t ɪər /; [1] Old Norse: Týr, pronounced) is a god in Germanic mythology and member of the Æsir.In Norse mythology, which provides most of the surviving narratives about gods among the Germanic peoples, Týr sacrifices his right hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who bites it off when he realizes the gods have bound him.
