    I always feel so bad for Fenrir. He was raised with the Aesir and grew to view them like family, but because Odin had a vision of dying by being devoured by Fenrir, he tricked him into being tied up with the help of his best friend and left there for eons. It’s this betrayal that causes him to swear he’ll be the one to kill Odin at Ragnorok, so Odin basically seals his own fate

      Came here to say exactly this, although it was only Tyr who raised and fed him. The other gods feared him as he grew so much every day, I don’t think it was ‘fortunate’ that Oden was avenged.
      -
      Oden forced Fenrir to harm the one god (Tyr) who had shown him care, whilst binding him painfully for eternity.
      Oden was a god of madness who time and again sealed his own fate, from imprisoning and torturing Loki, to the torturous imprisonment of Loki’s son.
      In short, poor Fenrir. The goodest of boys.

      here is some original text translated from Danish to English
      Sunday is the day of the sun - Sunday
      Sol is a goddess in Norse mythology. Over time, Sun Day has become Sunday.
      In the runic alphabet, the rune S means sun.
      Monday is the day of the moon - Monday
      The name Monday comes from 'moon'. In Latin, the moon is called 'luna', and the Latin can still be recognized in French, where Monday is called 'Lundí'.
      In the north, the moon was called 'Mani', and it eventually became Monday.
      In Norse mythology, a distinction is made between two different meanings of the moon.
      One is the cosmic phenomenon and the other is a truly mythical person. Monday was the day of the moon, and is named after the mythical person Moon.
      Tuesday is Tuesday - Tuesday
      Mars is a god of war, and so is the Nordic god 'Tyr' or 'Tír', and it is he who has given his name to Tuesday.
      In Norse mythology, Tyr is one of the Aesir.
      Tyr is primarily known as the god of justice and war, but is also described as wise and brave.
      The T-rune was associated with Tyr.
      Wednesday is Odin's day - Odin's day
      Mercury is being compared to Odin, so it became Wednesday.
      Odin is in Norse mythology Frigg's husband and he is one of the most prominent gods in traditional Norse mythology.
      He is particularly associated with war luck, royal power, rune power and wisdom.
      Thursday is Thursday - Thursday
      Jupiter is similar to Thor because they both deal with lightning and thunder. So the day turned into Thursday.
      Thor is in Nordic mythology Sif's husband and was the god of thunder.
      The name Þórr (thor) is related to the words thunder and thunder, as well as English 'thunder' and German 'donner'.
      He controlled the weather, and fought the enemies of civilization, who at that time were, among other things, giants and trolls.
      He is associated with strength, aggression and reliability.
      Friday is Frigg's day - Friday
      Venus is a god of love, and it's Frigg - or maybe Freya, as you think the two goddesses were originally the same - so it became Friday.
      Frigg is Odin's wife in Norse mythology.
      She was perceived as the goddess of marriage.
      She was also a protector and helper in traditional women's work, such as weaving, sewing and cooking.
      Saturday is bathing day - Saturday
      Saturday is not named after any Nordic gods. The word Saturday comes from the Norse word Saturday and was also known as Sunnunótt.
      First part of the word, "guild" means "bath" or "bath water". So Saturday is bathing day, or washing day, where one has washed and bathed.
      In Latin, Saturday was named after Saturn (Ssturni), and we can recognize it in the English language; Saturday.
      sunnunótt means the evening of sunday and can be recognized in it - in some parts of germany - ogfte used words for saturday: Sonnabend.

      @@cocolime6496 I prefer Odin's way because it's just bad ass. Jesus was killed by the people he was saving. It's got an epic poetic theme to it.
      But Odin was just like, I'll do whatever it takes to reach my goal. Period.
      Plus the only thing that could kill him was Fenrir basically a supernatural wolf.
      The entire thing just reads as epic. Also the christian god is distant far removed from humanity. Odin can actually learn things and make mistakes.

      @@omarsabry9489 the Trinity is incoherent nonsense. One person can't also be three persons at the same time. And then add on it that he died, then he was angry that he died, and then after being dead he somehow resurrected himself?
      Only way this can work is if God is simply a supernatural non corporeal split personality. Then one of the three personalities could become physical and die, and the other two could be hurt and resurrect him.
      But to say that they are actually all the same person is simply incoherent.

    4:27 I just want to point out that the reason we know so little about a lot of the things that "happened to the gods" is because the young and old Edda does in difference to the Bible not contain the full story of the religion (as it practically was at that time). The poetic Edda (the elder Edda) only contains stories about the gods and what they did. But most likely those are only a very small portion of the stories that was being told back in the viking age.
    So there is/was probably a reason why Odin became the ruler. And there is/was probably a full story about the time Odin sacrificed his eye for wisdom.
    We have to remember even the Poetic Edda was written about 200 years after the viking age

    Great video man.. When I was researching about the All-Father, I discovered that Odin was one of the few Norse God's that demanded human sacrifice every now and then to secure victory in battle. He was also known as a liar, murderer, deceiver and oath breaker. All cruel and cold hearted acts were committed in the pursuit of knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Funny thing too is, an oath made to Odin could never be broken, it was one of, if not the biggest taboo in the Norse peoples relationship with the gods.. Yet Odin himself was known to brake an oath or two, when it meant he would obtain more knowledge. Lastly, he was known in his earliest times among the Germanic peoples as a God of War and storms. And I find that interesting that as he rose in status, his son Thor took on that mantle. Great video man, I know to cover everything on him, would take like a 1-3hr video. He's so complex as you stated and is obviously my favorite of the Norse Pantheon.. Also, I think Odin would be proud of your beard.

      Fun history fact tidbit, mixed in with norse mythology!
      The start of Ragnarök will be the coming of fimbulwinter,(allso known as Vargrvretr or fimbulvetr)
      This is a cold winter that will kill most people, and is said to be three winters following eachother, without spring, summer or autumn. Where winds blow hard, and cold from all directions, and is insufferably cold!
      Now for the history bit!
      Fimbulwinter is based on real events!
      The mythology might be related to the extreme weather effects that happened around 535-536 which resulted in a notable drop in temperature across northern Europe. There have also been several popular ideas about whether the particular piece of mythology has a connection to the climate change that occurred in the Nordic countries at the end of the nordic Bronze age from about 650 BC.
      Yay history!

      Yes you are right but at the same time loki isn't a Norse god he was a character originally written in the pros edda which was written by a Christian ther is no story's of loki or his children before that point. meaning all the story of loki that we know of wher actually made by Christians not the Norse pegan people.

      @@jinolin9062 Eye of Ra is something else. Look it up. Says something about the feminine aspect of the Sun God Ra. Eye of Horus is the one you see in Egyptian art. Set gouged out Horus’ left eye. Osiris was the father of Horus. Osiris was killed by Set, first by trapping him in a coffin & dumping him in the Nile, & then later Set cuts up his body into 14 pieces. All were gathered by Isis except his phallus, which was eaten by a fish. Isis conceived Horus after she fashioned Osiris’ Frankenstein corpse with a new golden phallus. And in a weird twist, Horus later kills his mother Isis when she interfered with his fight with Set.

    Fun fact the day Thursday gets its name from Thor's Day, yes Thor has an entire day of the week dedicated to him (as if he couldn't have enough of a massive ego), and Friday gets its name from Frigga's/Frigg's Day, yes Frigga/Frigg also has an entire day of the week dedicated to her (but she is the queen of the Aesir, so it kind of makes sense).
    Also, one of Odin's Aliases, when he walked amongst mortals on Midgard, was "The Gray Wanderer" and the description of this persona sounds eerily similar to how the figure of Gandalf the Gray, who ironically also has the same moniker, from JRR Tolkien's works is described.
    Maybe at some point, Jon could do videos on the origins of the names of day and months, it might be an interesting experience, although he'll probably need to call in Tristan from Name Explain for collab on those things because diving into and explaining the name of things is very much up his alley, his channel's name even tells you that.
