Why is the week named after most Nordic myths (one is named after ancient Greek mythology)?

Nordic mythology refers to the primitive beliefs and natural observations of ancient Scandinavians or so-called Nordic people. And the legend of heroes is also included. There are two sources: one is an ancient poet from Norway, and the other is that the customs, laws and objects described in ElderEdda or PoeticalEdda have preserved most of the mythological materials. They all seem to belong to Norway in the south; One is from Skar, an ancient bard in Iceland. The earliest Nordic literature belongs to Iceland. 1 1 century, when the Nordic people were oppressed by the British and fled from the mainland peninsula to Iceland, they took away their myths and poetic talents. Therefore, it is credible that Icelandic ancient poets have made great contributions to the preservation of ancient myths. Compared with their counterparts in southern Europe-Greek mythology, the myth of northern Europe was born at least 1000 years later. Not only is it late, but also Saemund, the hypothetical editor of Big Ada, and Bishop Bishop Bishop Bishop Bishop are Christians, so the Nordic myth that has been passed down to this day can not be regarded as the representative of the original beliefs of ancient Scandinavians. Christian belief is undercurrent in the blood of ancient Nordic pagan gods. It is speculated that the Nordic people with late civilization had invaded the stories of ancient primitive beliefs before developing them into systematic records of gods, which hindered their popularization, perfection and organization. Therefore, Nordic mythology is probably an unfinished work that died halfway. However, even so, the main body of the existing Nordic myth is as simple and huge as the Scandinavian mountains. Their god is solemn, pure and broad. If the Greek myth in the south is "lyrical", then this Nordic myth can be said to be "tragic". The Nordic gods will always fight against the evil forces that endanger mankind-the evil gods and evil giants; The gods gradually won, but in the end-it can be said that it reached the climax of tragedy, and the inevitable fate, ragnar Locke, whom God had long predicted, came. So after a great war between God and the evil spirits and giants, God died, and so did the evil spirits and giants. This is the meaning of tragedy, the structure of tragedy! This is very different from the rambling Greek mythology, and it is also very different from the Greek gods always running in the streets, playing games, falling in love in the Woods by the spring, and being jealous. This is the keynote of Nordic mythology, which is different from Greek mythology in southern Europe. The story of Balder's fate, the story of skil's trip to Neil, and the story of Raytheon's thunder hammer are all in Big Ada. Especially important are the twelve poems about the story of Nibelungen; The famous Germanic legend "Song of Nibelungen" was born out of this. The name "Ada" is said to be in 1643. The meaning of this word varies from person to person. Sometimes the meaning of "great-grandmother" is used, which is also called the error of the word Erda in ancient Germanic prose, meaning "mother earth". Another view is that the first sentence of Nordic poetry is called "Eda". The origin of "Big Eda" is the songs of ancient Nordic poets, that is, Scudder from Iceland, and the legend of war is their favorite theme. This kind of song is called Drapas. In addition, it is the inscriptions carved on ancient gold tools that help fill the material of Nordic mythology. These are all written by Runan, the earliest script in Northern Europe. Rune means mystery. There are very few remains of the oldest existing luna characters: first, the inscriptions on Jinjiao, probably dating from the third or fourth century, were unearthed in Schleswig 180 years ago; One is Norwegian stone carving. Although these inscriptions are short, they have mysterious value. As for the relics of Lu's later years, there are still many; A large number of tombstones, spoons, chairs and paddles have been found in Sweden, Denmark and Solomon Islands. This inscription, either a eulogy or a love story, should be a fragment of myth. The epic of pure northern Europe is Saga. This article was probably written in 12 century. It is a famous Nordic national legend, probably a popular folk story at that time. Primitive people in northern Europe, when they first examined natural phenomena and tried to solve them, they felt that two diametrically opposite phenomena attracted their attention: on the one hand, huge and simple mountains and rivers, bleak sunshine and bright aurora in the Arctic were often angry and choppy seas, and huge waves like snowdrifts hit towering cliffs and icebergs in the polar circle; On the other hand, it is the blue sky and blue sea in the short summer, the ever-growing light, and the glory of the plants that can almost be said to be miracles. The contrast between cold and warm is so strong! No wonder primitive Icelanders thought that the universe was created by a strange mixture of fire and ice. They think that ice and snow are evil forces in the universe, while heat and light are good forces. The struggle between the god of good power and the giant representing evil power has become the main skeleton of Nordic mythology. In the middle of the vast space, at the beginning, there was a huge bottomless pit surrounded by eternal light. To the north of the bottomless pit is Neverheim, which is the home of fog and darkness. There is an inexhaustible spring, Hvergelmir, which provides water named Eliwaga for twelve rivers. When the water of these twelve rivers surged in, it was excited by the cold air sprayed in the hole on the edge of the bottomless pit, and immediately became an iceberg, rolling into the bottomless pit and making a thunderous sound. Niflheim facing the south of the cave is Muspellsheim, the home of true fire, guarded by the flame giant Surtr. The giant often cuts icebergs that roll to the bottomless pit with his shining and sparking broadsword, and the icebergs are melted by heat. Due to the constant action of cold and heat, a huge guy, Ymir or ogle Mill, was born from the bottomless ice. Because he was born in frost, he is also called Hrimthurs-the ice giant. Bree (producer) emerged from the melting iceberg and was born a positive god. He and his son b? Rr was discovered and fought by Ymir, its six giants Thrudgelmir and the frost giant Belgelmir. The battle between good and evil lasted for a long time and there was no victory or defeat. Until b? Rr gave birth to three sons, Odin, Willy and VE-equivalent to spirit, will and holiness-and married Bestla, the daughter of Bolthron. When Ymir died, a large amount of blood gushed from his wound and became a torrent, which drowned all his people. Only Bergmir and his wife fled to the edge of the world by boat and lived in J? Tun-heinr has bred a large number of frost trolls, who always want to break into the boundaries of the rule of the gods and do evil. The gods created everything in the world with Ymir's body, and a group of dwarfs emerged from Ymir's body. They are divided into two categories: black dwarf and white dwarfs. Black dwarf went underground to Svalt-Alfa-Heim according to God's will, and was not allowed to come to the ground during the day, otherwise it would turn into stone. The white dwarf was sent to Alfa-Heim and was free in the air. Everything is arranged. Odin, the head of the gods, leads the gods to live on a plain far from the ground, on the other side of the frozen Yvonne River, named Idawar. The temple of God is called Asgard, and there are twelve goddesses, namely Aesir, and twenty-four goddesses, namely Asynjur. After that, Odin found two branches (or two boards or two trees) on the beach-Wen (Yang) and Enbala (Elm), and cut them into human figures, a man and a woman. This is the origin of man in Nordic mythology. Odin, also known as Woutan or Woden, is the highest god in Nordic mythology, symbolizing the ubiquitous spirit in the universe, personifying the air, being the god of wisdom and victory, and the patron saint of nobles and heroes. His throne, Hlidskialf, is an unusual chair, but it is a huge watchtower, where Odin can see the movements of gods, giants, black dwarf, white dwarfs and human beings. Only Odin and his wife frigga can use the throne. They sat on thrones, facing south and west. These two directions are what the Nordic people want to send out. Odin, about fifty years old, tall and energetic, black curls, with a gray beard and a little baldness. He is dressed in gray, wearing a big blue hood and a green coat with gray stripes-symbolizing the blue sky and gray clouds in the northern sky. He often holds his invincible spear Gungnir in his hand. This spear is sacred. If he swears at its tip, it will never be destroyed. He wears a ring or hairpin called Droupnir on his finger or arm, which is a symbol of wealth. He has two crows, Hugin and Munin, and two wolves, Geri and Freki, as detectives. Whoever meets them will have good luck. Nordic people who regard courage as the highest virtue and death as the highest glory also regard Odin as the god of victory and war. Nordic people believe that whenever there is a war on the earth, Odin will send his waitress Valkyre to the battlefield, select half of the warriors who died and take them to the palace. Odin's two sons first greeted him and then took him to Odin's throne to praise him. Nordic people believe that Odin rode across the world in a storm to clean up the souls of the dead. Northerners are afraid of storms, and people are unlucky in storms because they violate Odin's way with ghosts. They regard the windy season in autumn and winter as Odin's hunting season. Farmers often leave some mature wheat in the field to feed the horses when Odin passes by. Odin is also an omniscient god, because he drank from the fountain of wisdom in Mimir. In the depths of this spring, the future is clearly reflected. Odin found Mimir and asked for a spoonful of water. The old man guarding the spring knows the value of this spring, and he must pay the price for Odin's eye. Odin gouged out an eye for him. Mimir turned his eyes to the depths of the spring and left a memorial for the future. Odin is a branch of the tree of life, which covered the fountain of wisdom and was made into his invincible spear. Since then, Odin's wisdom is unparalleled, but he is also worried (always worried on his face) because he knows the future and the inevitable fate of the gods in the future. Rune, an ancient Nordic script, is also Odin's invention. When the rune was invented, Odin hung from the giant branch of the tree of life, stared at the unfathomable Neverheim, thought deeply, and stabbed himself with a spear, which lasted for nine days in Kuya. That is, after inventing this mysterious writing, Odin stabbed himself on his spear, carved it on his horse's teeth, bear's claws, and countless living and inanimate bodies. Because he was hanged in Kuya on the 9th, hanging is a felony among northern Europeans. Odin's first wife, a symbol of the primitive land, and Odin gave birth to a very mighty son, namely Thor; ; The second wife, Frigga, a wife symbolizing civilized land, gave birth to god of light Bald and Tyre, the god of war. The third wife is Rita, a symbol of barren frozen soil, and she and Rita gave birth to Wali, the god of gardening. Some ancient poets also said that Odin had married Sakya, the goddess of history. Odin goes to Sok Waback, the Crystal Palace under the icy river, every day to see her, drink the icy river and listen to her sing songs about ancient history. According to another ancient poem, Odin's six sons were kings of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Saxony. It seems that Odin is actually the ancestor of the Anglo-Saxon royal family. Odin created a huge poplar named Yggdrasil, which is the tree of the universe, the tree of time, or the tree of life. It fills the world. Not only Niflheim, which is rooted in the distant and restless spring in Hvergelmir, but also the house of God, which is rooted in the offshore land and close to the spring in Urdal. This tree grows very tall. The tallest branch is called Lerad, which covers Odin's palace, while other tall branches cover Niflheim, Muspellheim and our land. There is an eagle named Vader fournier on Lerad. His bright eyes shine on the sky and the ground and report to Odin. Yggdrasil's leaves are evergreen, so it is the food of Heidrun, the god sheep who provides goat's milk for the gods. Deer Dain, Dvalin, Dunneyr and Durathor also eat this kind of leaves, and honey dew will drop from the horns of these deer. All rivers in the world come from here. Near Yggdrasil, the tree of life, and beside the inexhaustible spring, there is a terrible dragon Nidhug, which is constantly gnawing at the root of the tree of life. Numerous insects help the dragon to do this destructive work. Both dragons and worms want to kill the tree of life, knowing that if the tree of life dies, the end of the gods will come. Fate goddess Noen, three goddesses and three sisters are responsible for taking care of the tree of life. They take water from Urdal to irrigate the trees. High above and across Neverheim, it is a sacred bridge composed of fire, water and air (rainbow), from which the gods can lead to the ground or the root of the tree of life Urdar. The gods hold meetings every day in this sacred spring. Among the gods, Raytheon is the only one who doesn't walk from this Hongqiao, lest his heavy footsteps or thunder and lightning damage the bridge. The god guarding this bridge is Heimdahl, who stays with us day and night. His weapon is a sharp knife and a silver horn. Whenever the gods cross the bridge, he plays a soft tune with his silver horn. However, if the high-pitched voice comes, it is an alarm, that is Ragnarok (the disaster of God), and it is time for the frost giants and the flame giants to unite to destroy the world. Ancestor -buri (producer): I gave birth to a son, borr, which means giving birth. Later, three sons were born, Odin (holy), Viri (spiritual), Wei (ve, will), the king of the gods. But also mysterious knowledge, the god of death, the master of war. He is the owner of Arthur Gard's holy land, and owns three palaces, one of which is behind the gods of Valhalla Temple (the home of fallen soldiers) in Grassir Forest-Fulijia: the god of marriage and maternal love. She has her own palace, fen-salir, floating on the sea of clouds. In her spare time, she spins her own golden loom and weaves auspicious clouds with silver thread and gold, which shines in the night sky (the Nordic people call it' the spinning wheel with good welfare', which is what we call Orion). Thor: Odin's eldest son, his mother is the earth goddess Jod (. My mother is Skadi, a beautiful female giant of graphite. She is the god of courage and war, and has no palace of her own-Blagi: Odin's son, her mother is Gunrod, a female giant in charge of poetry and music art, and Chunchun's daughter-Yidun: is the wife of a beautiful god. Neeld, the goddess of spring and youthful vitality, is the leader of Vanas, joining the Poseidon and Fengshen of szeged. He not only has a palace in Segade, but also has his own palace in Si Tong, the winter goddess Xipston. Teal's mother seems to be staying in the sea) and Houlle, the male winter god, are the sons of the blonde goddess Sifu (Sifu is Thor's wife, but he didn't say that his father god of light is the god of darkness-god of light Bald and Hodur. Fowler is a twin of Odin and Frigga, the son of Niod and his sister Nasser. He was born in the Vanas protoss. After joining Arthur's family, Odin gave him a Alfheim, Freiburg and Vidal. He lives in the vast land in the center of the Virgin forseti-ageir-the goddess of the sea: Igir is an independent protoss, and the Vanas protoss by the sea and the Arthur protoss in the sky can't say who includes who loves God-folli Ya: the daughter of the goddess of women and love. Wait? -Descendants of the primitive giant Na Wei, composed of three goddesses: Ould, Verdandy and Calder, representing the past, present and future respectively. They don't belong to the Arthur protoss, nor are they colleagues. Their judgment of fate is that Woki, the Vulcan god that everyone must obey, is the vigilant god of Odin's brother-Heimdahl: the son of Odin and Agger's nine daughters, and the war girls-Valkyries and Odin.
