The Drowning of the Frost Giants in Ymir's Blood
OriginNorse Mythology
In the primordial age of Norse mythology, the gods Odin, Vili, and Ve slew the first giant, Ymir, whose body formed the world. The resulting deluge of his blood was so vast that it drowned nearly the entire race of Frost Giants, with only Bergelmir and his wife surviving to repopulate their kind. This cosmic event marks the transition from primordial chaos to the ordered world of the Aesir.
