Baldr
"Each arrow overshot his head" (1902) by Elmer Boyd Smith. Baldr (also Balder , Baldur ) is a god in Norse mythology . In the 12th century, Danish accounts by Saxo Grammaticus and other Danish Latin chroniclers recorded a euhemerized account of his story. Compiled in Iceland in the 13th century, but based on much older Old Norse poetry , the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda contain numerous references to the death of Baldr as both a great tragedy to the Æsir and a harbinger of Ragnarök .
In Norse mythology , Dagr ( Old Norse "day" [ 1 ] ) is day personified. This personification appears in the Poetic Edda , compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda , written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson . In both sources, Dagr is stated to be the son of the god Dellingr and is associated with the bright-maned horse Skinfaxi , who "draw[s] day to mankind".

Sól ( Old Norse "Sun") [ 1 ] or Sunna ( Old High German , and existing as an Old Norse and Icelandic synonym : see Wiktionary sunna , "Sun") is the Sun personified in Germanic mythology . One of the two Old High German Merseburg Incantations , written in the 9th or 10th century CE, attests that Sunna is the sister of Sinthgunt . In Norse mythology , Sól is attested in the Poetic Edda , compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda , written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson . In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda she is described as the sister of the personified moon, Máni , is the daughter of Mundilfari , is at times referred to as Álfröðull , and is foretold to be killed by a monstrous wolf during the events of Ragnarök , though beforehand she will have given birth to a daughter who continues her mother's course through the heavens. In the Prose Edda , she is additionally described as the wife of Glenr .
