Tyr

Tyr is one of the most important gods in Norse mythology, associated with law, justice, honor and war. He is the son of Odin, the chief of the gods, and a giantess named Fjorgyn. Tyr is best known for his sacrifice of his right hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who was prophesied to devour Odin at Ragnarok, the end of the world. Tyr agreed to place his hand in Fenrir's mouth as a sign of good faith while the other gods bound the wolf with a magical chain. When Fenrir realized he had been tricked, he bit off Tyr's hand, but could not free himself from the chain. Tyr's courage and loyalty earned him great respect among the gods and men, and he was considered the bravest and most righteous of the Aesir, the tribe of gods to which he belonged. Tyr was also a skilled warrior and a master of runes, the ancient symbols of magic and wisdom. He wielded a sword named Tyrfing, which was forged by dwarves and could cut through anything. Tyr was often invoked by warriors and rulers who sought victory, justice and peace.

Tyr is a god of war and justice in Norse mythology, who is often associated with the Germanic god Tewas. The name Tyr comes from the Proto-Germanic word *Tiwaz*, which means "god" or "sky father". Tewas is the reconstructed name of a similar god in Proto-Indo-European mythology, who was also the father of the sky and the ruler of the day. Some scholars have suggested that Tyr and Tewas are cognate, meaning that they share a common origin and meaning. Others have argued that Tyr and Tewas are independent deities who were influenced by each other through cultural contact and exchange. In any case, Tyr and Tewas both represent aspects of sovereignty, law, order, and martial prowess in their respective mythologies. In the runes, Tyr is the god of war, justice, and order. He is associated with the rune Tiwaz, which represents courage, honor, and victory. Tyr is also known for his sacrifice of his hand to bind the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who threatened to devour the world. Tyr's control over the runes is based on his willingness to uphold the law and maintain balance, even at a great personal cost. He is a symbol of leadership, bravery, and loyalty.

Tuesday is the day of the week that comes after Monday and before Wednesday. It is named after the Norse god of war, Tyr, who was also associated with law, justice and the sky. Tyr was one of the Aesir, the main group of gods in Norse mythology, and he was the son of Odin, the chief god. Tyr was famous for his courage and his sacrifice of his hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who was destined to kill Odin at Ragnarok, the final battle of the gods and giants. Tyr's name means "god" or "glory" in Old Norse, and it is related to other Indo-European words for deity, such as Zeus, Deus and Deva. The name Tuesday comes from the Old English Tiwesdæg, which means "Tiw's day". Tiw was the Anglo-Saxon equivalent of Tyr, and he was worshipped by warriors and rulers. The Romans also named their third day of the week after their god of war, Mars, which is why Tuesday is called Martes in Spanish, Mardi in French and Martedi in Italian.

The question of who was Tyr's wife is not easy to answer, as there is little information about the personal life of the god of war and justice in Norse mythology. However, some sources suggest that he may have been married to a goddess named Zisa, who was revered by the Germanic tribe of the Suevi in the region of Augsburg. Zisa was associated with fertility, protection, and the ability to undo the knots of fate. She was also called the Isis of the Suebi by Jacob Grimm, who made an etymological connection between Tyr (or Ziu in Old High German) and Zisa. Some scholars speculate that they may have been twin lovers, like Frey and Freyja. Zisa's name was also used for Tuesday (Zistag) in some dialects, instead of Tyr's name. Zisa's cult was later absorbed by Christianity, and she was conflated with the Virgin Mary or the Roman goddess Ceres.
