A depiction of Óðinn, Vili, and Vé creating the world by Lorenz Frølich. In Norse mythology, Vili (/ ˈ v ɪ l i / VILL-ee; Old Norse: ) and Vé (/ ˈ v eɪ / VAY; O.N.: ) are the brothers of the god Odin (from Old Norse Óðinn), sons of Bestla, daughter of Bölþorn; and Borr, son of Búri.
Ask to Embla is the title of a poem, parts of which are quoted, by R. H. Ash, one of the protagonists in A. S. Byatt 's novel Possession: A Romance, which won the Booker prize in 1990. In the video game Fire Emblem Heroes, the two main warring kingdoms are Askr and Embla, which is where the Summoner, the player, finds themselves in, as the ...
In these sources, the relationship with Bestla is established but the exact line of parents back to Ymir, progenitor of all jötnar, is not.[5] ^ In Völuspá 18, Hœnir is listed as one of the three gods who created the first humans, Ask and Embla, along with Lóðurr and Odin, while in Snorri Sturluson 's account, it is Odin, Vili and Vé.
Bestla (Old Norse: [ˈbestlɑ]) is a jötunn in Norse mythology, and the mother of the gods Odin, Vili and Vé (by way of Borr). She is also the sister of an unnamed man who assisted Odin, and the daughter (or granddaughter depending on the source) of the jötunn Bölþorn. Odin is frequently called "Bestla's son" in both skaldic verses and the ...
Borr. In Norse mythology, Borr or Burr[1] (Old Norse: 'borer' [2] sometimes anglicized Bor, Bör or Bur) was the son of Búri. Borr was the husband of Bestla and the father of Odin, Vili and Vé. Borr receives mention in a poem in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional material, and in the Prose Edda, composed in ...
Odin, Vili, and Vé took Ymir's corpse to the center of Ginunngagap and carved it. They made the earth from Ymir's flesh; the rocks from his bones; from his blood the sea, lakes, and oceans; and scree and stone from his molars, teeth, and remaining bone fragments. They surrounded the earth's lands with sea, forming a circle.
In Völuspá, at the creation of the first human beings, Ask and Embla, Hœnir and Lóðurr help Odin. According to the Prose Edda, Hœnir is said to have given reason to man. [1] In Gylfaginning, Vili and Vé are mentioned instead. As Snorri Sturluson knew Völuspá, it is possible that Hœnir was another name for Vili.
Lóðurr. Odin, Lóðurr, and Hœnir create the first humans, Askr and Embla. Lóðurr (Old Norse: [ˈloːðurː]; also Lodurr) is a god in Norse mythology. In the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá, he is assigned a role in animating the first humans, but apart from that he is hardly ever mentioned, and remains obscure.
