Borr

Borr

Father of Odin and the creator gods

Borr is a god in Norse mythology and the father of Odin, Vili, and Ve, who are collectively known as the "creator gods" or the "Aesir gods." Borr is often depicted as a wise and powerful deity, but relatively little is known about him in the surviving myths and legends.

According to the myth, Borr and his wife Bestla were the parents of Odin, Vili, and Ve. In some versions of the story, Borr is said to have been the son of the giant Buri, who was the first being in the Norse cosmology. Borr is also sometimes associated with the concept of "borr" or "bore," which means "to drill" or "to pierce," possibly symbolizing his role in creating the world.

As the father of Odin and the creator gods, Borr played an important role in the creation of the world and the establishment of the Norse pantheon. However, his role is often overshadowed by the more well-known and prominent figures in Norse mythology, such as Odin, Thor, and Loki. Despite this, Borr remains an important figure in Norse mythology and is often included in lists of the Aesir gods.
