Days of the week - Sketchplanations

The Norse Gods are still among us in the names of the days of the week. Tuesday — from Old English Tiw, for Tyr the Norse god of combat Wednesday — from Old English Woden, for Odin the one-eyed king of the gods Thursday — for Thor, the quick to fight god of ordinary people with his magical hammer Mjollnir Friday — for Frigg, wife of Odin and goddess of marriage and motherhood While Saturday, Sunday and Monday follow the celestial bodies Saturn, the sun, and the moon. As a wonderful introduction to the Norse myths and gods you could do much worse than the entertaining and beautifully produced Illustrated Norse Myths I was commanded to read by our 9-year old. Illustrations based off of those by the excellent Matteo Pincelli.
