Chapter 574 Freya, the Goddess of Love and War

In Norse mythology, Freya, the goddess of love and war, is the daughter of Njord, the leader of the Vanir, and the sister of Frey, the god of war who once defeated Odin and sat on the throne of the king of gods.

Despite such a prominent status, Freya's husband is Odd, the god of travel.

God of Travel -

If it were in the civilized era 3,600 years later, this might be a popular deity.

But in ancient times, not to mention traveling alone, even traveling with others was very dangerous.

In this era, there are land robbers on the land and sea pirates in the ocean.

The so-called god of travel will never be regarded as a patron saint in this era, let alone become a prominent and powerful god.

Freya married Odd in Norse mythology, just like Aphrodite married the lame god of fire Hephaestus in Greek mythology.

Because the Greeks could not defeat the Phoenicians in reality, they humiliated the goddess worshiped by the Phoenicians in fabricated myths.

The same reason -

Freya married Odd in Norse mythology, probably deliberately fabricated a myth to humiliate the goddess worshiped by the enemy.

And Odd, who was used to humiliate Freya, was Odin's clone.

"I respect your idea of ​​joining forces with the gods in the northern part of the Germanic region."

Roy said with a faint smile.

"Although the Aryan gods did not compete with the northern gods for territory, they obviously wanted to conquer and assimilate the northern gods. Those northern gods who are unwilling to be conquered and assimilated by the Aryan gods will definitely be willing to fight against the Aryan gods with you."

Hearing Roy's words, Fenrir said with satisfaction.

"I will take you to the northern region now."

After that, Fenrir pulled Roy to the northern part of the Germanic region.

The central part of the Germanic region.

This place was originally ruled by the native gods of the Germanic region.

After the Aryans migrated to the Germanic region, they continued to expand their territory here, and finally conquered the fertile plains in the middle of the Germanic region, dividing the Germanic region into three parts.

As the earliest Aryans to migrate to the Germanic region, the tribe that worshipped Odin ruled the area east of the Rhine.

Although Odin's tribe was the most powerful Aryan tribe in the Germanic region, it also had the deepest hatred with the local Germanic indigenous tribes.

The Aryan tribe that worshipped Thor, the god of thunder, and Tyr, the god of war, ruled the northern part of the Erzgebirge Mountains, and also had a deep hatred with the local Germanic indigenous tribes for hundreds of years.

The Aryan tribe that worshipped Baldur, the sun god, ruled the northern part of the Sudeten Mountains.

They were the last Aryan tribe to come to the Germanic region, and they did not have much hatred with the local Germanic indigenous peoples.

So in the Norse mythology of another world, Baldur, the sun god, did not participate in Ragnarok.

When the Ragnarok War was over, the sun god Balder directly became the ruler of the new era.

Just like Greek mythology is a myth created with Zeus as the core protagonist.

Norse mythology is also a myth created with Odin as the core protagonist.

In Norse mythology, the sun god Balder did not participate in the Ragnarok War and made contributions to Odin and the Aesir.

However, in Norse mythology, the sun god Balder was regarded as the legitimate son of the god king Odin and the queen Frigg, and the legitimate heir to Odin's throne.

Before Ragnarok, the sun god Balder was the most important member of the Aesir.

After Ragnarok, the sun god Balder immediately reigned in the new era.

The sun god Balder only went through the motions in Norse mythology, but he occupied the most important position in Norse mythology-

The only reasonable explanation is that in real history, the sun god Balder became the final winner.

After the Aryans [Aesir] and the indigenous Germans [Giants] fought a war, the Aryans who worshipped the sun god Balder became the most powerful force.

When Roy and Fenrir flew over the territories of Thor, the god of thunder, and Balder, the god of the sun, they saw that although Thor's tribe had a much larger population than Balder's tribe, Balder's tribe had more bronze weapons.

Obviously, Balder, the god of the sun, could become the final winner not only because he did not participate in the Ragnarok War, but also because his strength was indeed better than all the gods in the Germanic region.

The tribes of other gods were still using wooden spears and stone spears as weapons, while Balder's tribe had entered the Bronze Age.

The northern part of the Germanic region.

This is the real Nordic region.

Because the Baltic Sea is in the northeast and the North Sea is in the northwest, there is a worship of the sea god in the northern part of the Germanic region.

The goddess Nasus, who is in charge of navigation and fishing, is the most powerful god in the northern part of the Germanic region.

In the Norse mythology of another world, Njord, the leader of the Vanir gods, was a god created based on Nasus.

So in Norse mythology, Njord became the husband of Nasus and replaced Nasus's position.

Some people believe that Nasus gradually became a male god due to the evolution of language.

Others believe that this is a pair of gods, some versions highlight the goddess, while some versions highlight the male god.

However, from the performance of Njord in Norse mythology, it can be seen that he is like the god of travel Od, a tool used to humiliate and belittle local gods.

[The third Æsir god is named Njord, who lives in the heavens of Noaton. He controls the direction of the wind and calms the violent water and fire. Sailors and fishermen praise his name. Facing those who pray, he will give abundance and land. He was raised in Vanaheim. ]

[Deceiving Grufi] There is a passage in Chapter 23 that regards Njord as an Æsir god.

[The Biography of the Kings of Norway] records that Njord was an ancient king of Sweden and the successor of Odin.

In Norse mythology, Njord's identity is just a hostage.

Odin has so many sons and grandsons, how could his throne be inherited by Njord as a hostage.

Unless Njord is not a hostage of the Vanir gods, but an important member of the Æsir gods - an incarnation used by Odin to humiliate the local gods.

As Odin's incarnation, his relationship with Odin is certainly closer than those cheap sons and grandsons.

In Norse mythology, the goddess of war Freya and the god of war Frey are the children of the sea goddess Narsus.

In this real world, the goddess of war Freya and the god of war Frey are gods in the northern part of the Germanic region, just like Narsus.

Freya is the goddess of love, beauty, war and magic in Norse mythology, the daughter of Njord and Narsus, and the twin sister of Frey.

Her husband is Odd, who likes to travel, and she often cries in tears for her hard search for him.

Gullveig, the magic goddess of the Vanir, only appeared once in Norse mythology.

She boasted of her power to provoke the Aesir, which led to Odin declaring war on the Vanir.

Some people believe that Gullveig is another identity of Freya.

It is precisely because Freya is Gullveig who challenges the Aesir that Freya is forced to join the Aesir camp and is humiliated by the Aesir.

Not only Gulveig, but Gevon and Skadi are also considered to be Freya's two identities.
