Talk:Sons of Odin

Daughters?

The Wikipedia entry on Valkyrie mentions that they are generally held to be daughters of Odin. OlafW 19:21, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Added here what I believe is the only reference in old sources to a daughter of Odin. I have also fixed the Valkyrie article per OlafW's comment. Jallan 20:51, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hel?

I'm just trying to dab Hel, but where it says Hel in this article, it sounds more like a place and not a goddess. Hel is the goddess of the underworlds, Helheim and Niflheim, in Norse mythology, so could the person who wrote the intro be refering to the underworlds ruled by Hel?

Vidar

The article in its current state is heavily based on the idea that Vidar is not explicitly a son of Odin in the poems. So, contrary to that idea, may I point your attention to 54 (55 in some cases) of the Voluspa. The text clearly speaks of Vidar, son of Odin, who avenges Odin's death by killing Fenrir. Thus Thor, Baldr, and Vali (Odinsson) are not the only sons of Odin. If no one objects before too long I will make the changes. --Trakon 09:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Correct, and someone eventually did. I'm going to change the text more smoothly. But this article also desperately needs non-primary sources. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:12, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Sons of Odin the god as opposed to Odin the king

I propose to make a subheading for the sons of Odin in the Christian retellings, which turn him into a king of the East, to separate them from the sons in the original mythology. Odin's genealogy is too different in those sources, and incompatible with the one from the original myths. Right now is a bit confusing, because one can't tell apart which of those sons belong to Odin the god, and which ones (for example Freyr) only belong to Odin the king. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.33.2.101 (talk) 09:45, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
