This family tree is quite different from the one that we all know from The Thor movies.

Odin was the King of Æsir clan and known as "The Father of All Gods".He was often described as a one-eyed,bearded old man that wearing a hat dan a cloak,who road a flying eight-legged horse that called as Sleipnir.

Odin is one of the most strongest and subsequently associated with several themes including wisddom,knowledge,healing,death and war.He ruled over "The Hall of The Slain" known as Valhalla.

Thanks to the Marvel Universe,Thor is one of the most famous Norse gods in today's world.He was the God of Thunder and Lightning who wielded the Mjölnir ,a devastatingly powerful hammer that could slay giants and smash mountains.

He was the son of the Odin and often regarded as the strongest of all the Norse deities since he was tasked with safeguarding Asgard,the stronghold of the Æsir.He was perhaps the most popular of all gods and was worshipped by most Vikings.

Another god that are famous in nowadays thanks to the Marvel Universe which is Loki the God of Mischevious.Althought in Norse mythology he wasn't the son of Odin and brother of Thor.

Instead he is the blood brother of Odin who lived amongst the Æsir.He has an ability to shapeshift into multiple of different forms.His relationship with other gods are complex,but he does help them sometimes and also hindered them.

Whilst he was decipted as more to mischief then pure evil,he is the chief engineer behind the death of the god Balder,by carving an arrow out of his only weakness, mistletoe.

Balder is another son of Odin and half-brother to Thor.He was the god of Light and Purity.He was described as fair,kind and handsome god,whose beauty was unparalleled.He was also praised by other by his mercifulness.

Although it was believed he was immortal, he had been prophesied to die. To prevent this from happening his mother Frigg visited every entity in the cosmos to secure an oath from them that they wouldn't harm her son. She neglected to consult the mistletoe believing it too small and harmless to threaten the life of her son.

Loki got wind by this oversight and carved an arrow out of the mistletoe and thrown at Balder by his blind half-brother Hödr out of the jest and he fell dead.

Vidar was the son of Odin and the jötunn Grid.Vidar is mentioned to wear a thick shoe (like Thor) which is constantly mended by the god himself.Some also said that Vidar is as strong as his half brother Thor.

His association with vengeance probably stems from the foretelling of how he would avenge his father’s (Odin’s) death by killing the ferocious Fenrir, the monstrous wolf, at the Ragnarok.

As the wife of Odin, Frigg was regarded as the Queen of the Æsir gods and therefore possibly the most important of all the Norse goddesses.

Worshipped as the goddess of the sky, Frigg was associated with wisdom, marriage, family and fertility. She was also blessed with the power of divination, although she never revealed her visions to anyone.

Freya was the goddess of fate, love, beauty, gold, war and fertility. She was a member of the Vanir and ruled over the heavenly meadow of Fólkvangr, where half of all those who died in combat would go, whilst the other half were guided by the Valkyries to Valhalla which was ruled over by Odin.

She rode a chariot drawn by two cats and was often accompanied by a boar called Hildisvíni.

She practised Seidr, a form of magic that gifted her with the ability to control and manipulate the desires and prosperity of others. Her association with fate and destiny made her one of the most powerful Norse goddesses.
