Ogre
An ogre ( feminine: ogress) is a legendary monster depicted as a large, hideous, man-like being that eats ordinary human beings, especially infants and children. Ogres frequently feature in mythology, folklore, and fiction throughout the world. They appear in many classic works of literature, and are most often associated in fairy tales and legend with a taste for infants. In mythology, ogres are often depicted as inhumanly large, tall, and having a disproportionately large head, abundant hair, unusually colored skin, a voracious appetite, and a strong body. Ogres are closely linked with giants and with human cannibals in mythology. In both folklore and fiction, giants are often given ogrish traits (such as the giants in "Jack and the Beanstalk" and " Jack the Giant Killer", the Giant Despair in ''The Pilgrim's Progress'', and the Jötunn of Norse mythology); while ogres may be given giant-like traits. Famous examples of ogres in folklore include the ogre in "Puss in Boots" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ogre River
The Ogre is a river in Latvia that is 188 kilometers long. It is a right tributary of the river Daugava. In 13th century river was called Wogen or Woga. Etymology There are three main versions of the etymology of Ogre's name (both town and river). The first states that the name of the river from which this city derives its name is of Russian language, Russian origin (угри, ''ugri'', meaning "eels") because there used to be many eels in the river Ogre. A popular folk legend says that Catherine the Great of Russia was the one who gave the river this name because there were a lot of eels in the river; however, this lacks any evidence. Whereas Estonian linguist Paul Alvre takes into consideration an older form of the Ogre river's name (''Wogene, Woga'') first found in Livonian Chronicle of Henry (1180–1227), and argues that it cognates with Estonian word ''voog'' (with possible meanings: "stream, flow, waves"), therefore showing connection with Finno-Ugric languages, most pr ...
