Vanir Vs Aesir

Thor is one of the most famous of the gods in Norse mythology, well known due to his popularity. Thor is described as having a quick and hot temper, and a love for food. The enemies of the gods, the giants, were on the receiving end of

The Norse gods and people believe that they first evolved from the remains of the giant Ymir. “In the beginning, nothing existed but Ginnungagap, an open void” (“The Creation, Death, and Rebirth of the Universe” 461). Ymir evolved from the ice that had melted from the foam that had frozen earlier in time. Ymir was thought to be evil and kept producing offspring from the sweat of his underarms. The God Buri came to existence by Audhumla licking a salty block of ice and he emerged (“The Creation, Death, and Rebirth of the Universe” 461). Buri had three sons Odin, Vili, and Ve who grew concerned that the Giants were becoming more populated than the Aesir (Einherjar, 2016). The

In myths we come across many names of gods and goddesses and strange creatures. All of them have many stories related to them. Different gods represent different aspects of life and the Earth is under their control.

However, the three most important were: Odin who was the God of warriors, wisdom, and even poetry, Thor who was the God of thunder, farmers, and seafarers, and Frey, who was the God of fertility, marriage, and things that grew. They believed that their Gods walked among them every day in the human form. I think that their religion is really fascinating because each of their Gods has a backstory and I find listening to their stories to be really magical. I have heard many stories about the way their Gods were, but living in that time to hear their stories and experience it in person would be

Viking gods are also known as Norse gods. There are Aesir gods and Vanir gods. Vanir gods were thought to be good at mythical arts. They were very wise. On the other side Aesir gods were good for war and victory. People worshiped Aesir gods so they would succeed in war.

The Norse gods, also referred to the Viking gods, live in a place called Asgard. In their myths there are 9 worlds from theirs which is Asgard (home of the Aesir), Vanaheim (home of the Vanir), Jotuheim (home of the giants), Midgard (home of the humans) to many more (actually five more to be exact). The leader of Asgard is Odin (also refer to as the all-father) is the father to many but his most famous son is Thor. Where the movies made the gods heroes, it’s not so true in this story where they leave Chris Hemsworth in the scenes, and show you the true myths about Thor.

I covered Discordia and Loki in my post as well. According to Allen and Saunders in the Godchecker website, Eris (also known as Discordia) became jealous when she did not get invited to the wedding between King Peleus of Thessaly and Thetis. Knowing that the goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite were in attendance, Eris tossed a golden apple with a label "For The Fairest" in the middle of the wedding. This caused discord amongst the goddesses. A man named Paris was chosen to choose who "the fairest" was. After many bribes from the goddesses, he chose Aphrodite because she offered him the love of the most beautiful woman on earth. This happened to be Helen, who was married to a Greek king, and who Paris kidnapped, which resulted in the Trojan

Zeus was the god of the sky and ruler of the Olympian gods. Both of these Gods’ structures were very similar and they are perceived to be very close in comparison, even though their stories are very different. I believe that both gods are still very relevant today's world, even though they were said to be recounted millions of years ago. Thor was the God of thunder and lighting in Norse tradition. He was the most loved and worshiped Norse God even though Odin, Thor’s father, had more authority and held a higher throne.

The Norse people believe that there are two types of Gods namely the Aesir and the Vanir and other mythical beings such as the giant, dwarfs

The chief viking gods were thor, odin and frey., Thor was the god of thunder and protector of mankind,

Odin was the ?All-father? of all the gods and was extremely wise. He exchanged one of his eyes for wisdom. Other gods and goddesses included Loki (the trickster god), Freyja (goddess of love and beauty) and Frey (god of fertility and Freyja?s brother).

(U) One of the most well-known and powerful superheroes in Marvel Comics history is the God of Thunder, Thor. Thor is from the planet Asgard, where he lived with his parents Odin and Jord and his adopted brother Loki. Eventually, Thor would leave Asgard to come to earth and protect humans from all that is evil. Thor embodies the stereotypical Norseman: burly, long hair, a large beard, and a heavy eater and drinker. Thor is exceptionally strong which makes him capable of almost anything, but he does have a few strange weaknesses that an enemy can use to defeat him if the fight escalates to that level.

Myths explain why things are the way they are. There are plenty of differences and similarities between different mythologies, but what are the differences and similarities of the Norse and Greek. First, let’s start off with the similarities of their gods or deities. The Greek god Zeus is the leader of the gods and go of the sky and lightning.

There obviously are more than enough deities in each mythology than most need to know about. Both Norse and Greek Mythologies are focused on the assistance of the people, and the earth. In Norse Mythology the major of the Deities are used to pray to for rain, child bearing, land growth, and prosperity. Unlike Greek Mythology, the Deities and even Gods of Norse mythology are able to die, in battle not of old age, and move onto an afterlife, whilst of course, Greek Deities and Gods can live infinitely long, and not be killed by mortals. One of the more important of the deities is first, Forseti.
