Askr Svarte
In Norse mythology, Ask and Embla ( non, Askr ok Embla )—male and female respectively—were the first two humans, created by the gods. The pair are attested in both the ''Poetic Edda'', compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, three gods, one of whom is Odin, find Ask and Embla and bestow upon them various corporeal and spiritual gifts. A number of theories have been proposed to explain the two figures, and there are occasional references to them in popular culture. Etymology Old Norse literally means " ash tree" but the etymology of ''embla'' is uncertain, and two possibilities of the meaning of ''embla'' are generally proposed. The first meaning, "elm tree", is problematic, and is reached by deriving ''*Elm-la'' from ''*Almilōn'' and subsequently to ("elm").Simek (2007:74). The second suggestion is "vine", which is reached through ''*Ambilō'', which may be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
