Vili and Vé

Album cover for A Merging to the Boundless: Void of Voyce by Stargazer (Was used without credit for over a year) (Was used in a state where it was almost impossible to find the original artist) (People only know this now because the original poster of that image came out and informed others)

"Elon Musk said that the need to credit artists is destroying the medium, the problem is that Elon Musk was a stupid liar." This page in question has one or more images that aren't credited properly. Whether this be because the artist can't be found or the one who added the image was lazy, this needs to be fixed.

Vili and Vé are the two brothers of the god Odin, with whom they shared a decisive role in the original shaping of the cosmos.

History

Odin, Vili, and Vé were the first true Aesir gods to exist. Their parents were the proto-god Borr and the giantess Bestla. The three brothers slew the giant Ymir, the first being who had come into existence, and fashioned the cosmos from his corpse.

Since Vili and Vé, together with Odin, slew Ymir they initiated the ending the primeval rule of the race of giants. They are comparable to the three brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, of Greek mythology, who defeat the Titans. Of the three, Odin is the eldest, Vili the middle, and Vé the youngest. To the first human couple, Ask and Embla, Odin gave soul and life; Vili gave wit (intelligence) and sense of touch; and Vé gave countenance (appearance, facial expression), speech, hearing, and sight.

The three brothers worked as a team for a time, until Odin became the All-Father of Asgard. When Odin returned, he threw them out.

Myths and Legends

It is said that while Odin went on his nine years of wandering for wisdom, his two brothers moved in with his wife Frigga. This may reflect ancient pre-Christian Norse customs of hospitality, of a wife giving her bed to her husband’s brothers out of respect and kindness.
