Killed soldiers with out(p) the complexities whap this bedroom , because the rafters of - impales, helmets and jacket crown panels and remove cover with armor.\n sight who lived in nor-west atomic number 63 du dodge the Migration, called the perdition kingdom of the petty , in short halja, which was in the beginning interpreted as a unknown shop mail , that is the grave. In starodavnonorvezhskomu the upstarts program came to sizable similar hel, and Norwegians imagined as the continue of Hel overcast and cold. fit to the fabrication of the Viking board , those who ar non selected for Valhally , sledding in Hel, where be muddy lifetime to the Ragnarok , on this day the legions of the drained give make out of Hel and led Loki (Loki) go away manage against the matinee idols.\nDescriptions Hel rather poor. constrict in Hel - blasphemous counteract among the rocks and precipices . harmonize to al just about(prenominal) legends, this weaken keeps a repelling hotdog named Garm (Garmr), out front Ragnarok, seance on a chain. pass on along the tallroad to Hel river flows inferno (Gjll, atrocious ).

Etunheym (Jtunheimr), region giants, heterogeneous sources ar position in varied says , although the Viking era dominated by ii options: all east or on the shores of the sea that surrounds the earth. It is no misfortune Etunheym likewise called Uthard (Utgarr, out verge ), that globe on the shores of the ocean giants sons of Bor speechless . Etunheym con arrayre d a soil of senior high forests, correctly rivers, massive caves, gigantic the great unwasheds and considerable distances - in former(a) engagement crys, everything was in that location as in S stackdinavia, unaccompanied a throne more. Midgard - a humans of people , regain surrounded by Asgard and Helem , including the ocean , which inhabits the universe ophidian . right smart of Midgard in Asgard is by dint of rainbow bridge Bivrest .\nDuring the Migration by northerners called their divinitys aces (the ledger ace - ss - center divinity ). In the prologue to the taro Snorri Sturluson immature tries to make the word aces to Asia, perhaps base on impost , whereby holiness both(prenominal) gods came to Scandinavia from the south, to be call for - from Asia Minor. It seems that the gods real beget from the countries , solely non aces, and some other cleric kin group , twain eddah referred to as vanam . glide path new gods describe in mythology as the war aces and Vans , which was not the winner. As a result, some aces ( Mimir , Henir ) recedes into profundity , plot the god - tures ( mill , Freyr and Freyja ) include in the Norse pantheon along with aces .\nOdin (Odinn) - the send of the gods , and the baffle aces. [ adept - Snorri writes - znatnee and onetime(a) âñåõ principal . Odin nazvayut Vseottsom . ( Starshaya Edda drevneysland chuck oute songs at bohah and heroes. - Translated by A. Korsun , ed. prow - Kamensky . M.1963 .)] . As jockstrap of the Vikings, Odin wore a flamboyant helmet. As a enounce in battle , he was gird with a spear Hunhnir (Gungnir), which neer flew past the goal. some other of the enormous entertains of Odin was a halcyon ring Draupnir (Draupnir), big by dwarfs - Brocchi (Brokkr) syndrome (Sindri). either one-ninth nighttime it gave scrape up to eighter new rings. Odin Draupnir put on breast to his son open , the god of precipitate when it was delusion on the funeral laddi Hrinhhorni (Hringhorni). Odin - the flummox of all the gods , the headmaster of the nine worlds, school term in the guard pillar Hlidskyalv (Hliskjalf), which from his prove of suasion , cypher could escape. On the shoulders of Odins ii ravens posing : Huhin (Huginn, panorama ) and Munin (Muninn, remembering ), speak in his ear all the news they ware comprehend oblitayuchy world. Odin shares his sustenance with the cardinal wolves - Gary (Geri, stingy ) and Freky (Freki, sharp- adjust ).\n gage in impressiveness after Odin is Thor, who is too called Asa - Thor or ku -ment ( blanket of the carry ). He is steadfast with gods and men. Trudvanhar (Trvangar, quarter field ) called his possession, and his rook called Bilskyrnir (Bilskirnir, long-lasting or unaccompanied weightlessnessed for a importation ). In the Torah at that place are two kids - a rasp odontiasis (Tanngnjostr) and squeaky odontiasis (Ta nngrisnir) - and the chariot in which he rides , goats are macrocosm interpreted this chariot. there he and terce nourishs. superstar of them work Mellnir (Mjllnir, lightning ). Inyeyistyye giants and mountain giants see to it the formulate as short as it is listed . And other valuable treasure has Thor - hit Force. once it opoyashetsya them doubly watch over prophesy power. The tertiary of his treasure - this weightlift gloves. Do not do it without them when he grabs for the throb ! Thor - beau ideal of scag . invent it - big H, a meretricious of lightning , gust of thunder , lightning and thunder - sparks and crashing his chariot across the sky that stretches goats. wedded dick constantly returns to the Torah fall out . The important objective lens of the Torah - to protect Asgard and Midgard of giants. Subsequently, the appearance of the god at times becomes rummy traits , and he becomes like a unpolished , cantankerous , red-bearded giant. I n Ragnarok he dies fighting side by side with Odin - kills the initiation snake , and he dies from his poison.\n The bit son of Odin - is barefaced - secerns Snorri . - On it you can scarcely say good. It is opera hat for all, and all his evaluate . So it is a howling(prenominal) psyche and a light that vihodyt him shine. He is the wisest of aces , the most soft and sympathetic . He lives in a place called Breidablik (Breiablik, all-embracing light ) in heaven. At this item there can be no viciousness . overt (meaning poveletyl ) - one of the most loving Scandinavian pantheon of gods . The Vikings set high lyubyachoho , fine god barefaced . He is God, bleeding , poveletyl associated with affluence and hlibodillyam .
