| The son of Odin and Frigg. Tyr was the war God, renowned for strength and valor. His story is bound to that of Fenrir, the wolf-son of Loki. Tyr was assigned the difficult task of feeding Fenrir, but Odin perceived that Fenrir was growing ever more powerful and dangerous. The Gods chose to bind Fenrir underground, where he could do no harm. To convince Fenrir a magic chain around his neck was harmless, Tyr has to place his right hand in the wolf's mouth. When Fenrir realized the chain was unbreakable, he bit off Tyr's hand. The Anglo-Saxons called him Tiw and gave his name to the third day of their week, Tuesday.
