Talk:Ymir

Fiction
Perhaps a discussion of Ymir in fiction deserves merit?

Remeber, Atali from the Conan series is Ymir's daughter. SSOC#141 establishes that Ymir defeated a group of vampires.

İn a pc game(disciples) the name of ymir is used as a very strong warrior giant of dwarf clans.

Ymir cameoed in Wonder Woman#276 or so.

Aside from that, he appeared in a 1980's Spider-Man cartoon and his daughter Atali showed up in Conan the Adventurer.

The assertion that "Ymir" is cognate to "Yama" is baseless. To be removed. RandomCritic 04:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

 * That comment's a chuckle, and nothing more: an allusion to "Yngvi is a louse!". --Thnidu (talk) 18:09, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Fiction

In popular culture
The name Ymir appears in Tales of Symphonia (game) as a tree bearing a special fruit. The game references a lot of Norse mythology, could the name of the tree also be a reference?Jon Fawkes 03:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ymir is also one of Saturn's newer moons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgills240 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Purusha
The story of Purusha, as described in Rigveda, 10:90 (Mandala 10, hymn 90), is really very similiar -- for me, it's another example of common Indo-European heritage. Should it be quoted here? Greetings, Critto (talk) 00:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Etymology
While etymologies are great, it would be prudent to mention the meaning the speakers of Old Norse/Icelandic ascribed to the name Ymir, ie. "Noisemaker". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.69.115.211 (talk) 16:12, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Humans
Humans are descended from Ask and Embla who were created from trees by Odin. Just granpa (talk) 10:57, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

The six headed giant is Þrúðgelmir
There are many reliable sources saying this is so or possibly so. We should change the mention of Ymir giving birth to a six head giant or mention that many scholars speculate that the six headed giant is him.
