The Myth of Creation in Norse Mythology

In Norse Mythology, there are nine worlds, inhabited by elves, trolls, giants, gods and men. An ice giant and a cow bring life into being. The ice giant feeds on the cow's milk and brings forth gods. The Aesir Gods gain ascendency against their brother jotuns (or giants). The chief of the Aesir gods is Odin, the one-eyed god. The Aesir gods make men, and men populate the earth.
