Viking myths 1.

 

 

"Odin and his brothers are making the world of the dead giant Imir" (A. Fantalov, the image in Indian ink).

This is a typical myth about the world creation of the world creation of the primary creature body. The gods, Odin and his brothers killed the giant Imir. Then, they made Sky of his skull, Earth of his body, mounts of his skeleton, ocean of his blood, clouds of his brain. We can see the Primary Cow Audhumla and Imir' s posterity, who are lost in the waves.

Odin is shown as god determining destiny of chthonic monsters in Scandinaviam mythology: Jormungand, Hel, Fenrir-Wolf.
