Óðr

Scandinavia

In Norse mythology, Óðr or Óð, anglicized as Ódr or Ód, is a god associated with desire, passion and inspiration. The Prose Edda and Heimskringla, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, both describe Óðr as the husband of Freyja and the father of Hnoss and Gersemi. A number of theories have been proposed about Óðr, generally that he is a hypostasis of the god Odin due to their similarities.
