a) The Twelve Principal Gods.

The mythology of Beiheng is a polytheistic system, which can be roughly divided into four systems: giants, gods, elves, and gnomes. Among them, the giants created the world and gave birth to gods, but at the same time, they were also the gods' worst enemies.

The gods are divided into two tribes, the Asir tribe headed by the main god Odin and the Vanir tribe led by the god of the sea, Niord (Vanir), of which there are twelve

i.Odin: The main god.

Odin is the king of the gods, the ruler of the world, and also known as the "Heavenly Father". He wears a large golden helmet and two crows perched on his shoulders, symbolizing "thought" and "memory" respectively. They flew around the world every morning and came back to report to Odin what they saw.

At Odin's feet are two wolves, who are responsible for guarding. In order to increase his ingenuity, ** in the future, and to rule better, Odin was bent on drinking the water in the potato cover of the wisdom well, that is, the holy spring next to the roots of the Qin bark tree. But Mimir, the giant who guarded the well, demanded that he pay for an eye, and Odin immediately gouged out one eye without thinking.

After drinking the well water, he became knowledgeable. He invented the Norse ancient script (Rhône), which was used by the fairy of fate to write fate on a shield.

ii.Frigg:

Frigga is the goddess of love, in charge of marriage and family, the wife of Odin. There is dominion in Heaven and Hades. She had a beautiful countenance, with white feathered hands sandwiched between her golden hair.

Dressed in a white robe with a golden belt and a bunch of keys hanging from the belt. She loves beautiful outfits and glittering jewelry. She stole Odin's ** to buy a valuable necklace.

When Odin found out, he fled in anger. The universe was then ruled by the Frost Giants, and the harsh winter suffocated all life. It wasn't until seven months later, when Odin returned to Asgard, that the crisis passed.

What is the difference between "Norse mythology" and "Greek mythology"? What is the difference between "Norse mythology" and "Greek mythology"? The origins of the two myths are different, and the Norse mythology originated very late.

Let's look at the origin first: the origin of the civilization in Europe is the Sumerian civilization in Asia, and then the Egyptian civilization in Africa appeared, and the Greek civilization was born under the joint influence of the two civilizations, and the by-product is Greek mythology, so Greek mythology has some characteristics of Sumerian mythology and some characteristics of Egyptian mythology. Norse mythology originated in Northern Europe and Iceland, and the main creators and disseminators were originally prisoners of Germanic peoples who were exiled to the cold north.

From the perspective of geographical environment: Greece is located in the Mediterranean, the climate is warm, and life is relatively suitable, so there are many elements of praise in mythology. However, the climate in Northern Europe is harsh, and people need to fight against nature all the time, and the myth of course seems to be very hard-working, very fateful, and there are many tragedies.

So the difference between the two: in Greek mythology, people lived relatively happily, and borrowed from the management system of Sumerian civilization, and the whole mythological system is relatively complete and logical. Gods are all humanized, gods are immortal, and they have their own views on human beings.

The main body of the myth is the deeds of heroes, heroes are generally demigods and half-humans, and the virtues that heroes should have are: strength (such as Hercules), wisdom (such as Porseus), and dominance (such as Theseus). In Norse mythology, people live in dire straits, killing is a common occurrence (Vikings), city-state lords have a lot of power, and the mythological system is complex and chaotic (such as the location of the three worlds, how to get there).

There is only one truth in the universe, and sooner or later God will die a miserable death, and he has an indifferent attitude towards human beings. The main body of the myth is the story of the gods and certain super-strong but miserable human heroes. The fate of heroes generally begins with war and killing, and ends with war and killing.

The virtues that a hero or god should have are: strength (e.g. Thor), wisdom (e.g. Odin), sacrifice (e.g. Odin), loyalty (most human heroes). Do you understand this explanation?

1. Odin is the supreme god in Norse mythology, the god king of the Aesir god clan, and the ruler of the entire world, Odin is known as the father of the gods, in charge of war, power, wisdom, magic and death.

2. Legend has it that Odin was tall, wearing gold armor, riding an eight-legged horse "Sleipnir" and holding a famous gun "Gungnir", and lived in the temple of "Valhalla". He asked the Valkyries to collect the souls of the dead in preparation for the end-of-life battle, "Ragnarok".
