Kvasir

Kvasir is a figure in Norse mythology, known for being the wisest of all beings. He was born from the spit of the Æsir and Vanir gods after they ended their war and spat into a vessel to create him. Kvasir's wisdom was so great that he could answer any question posed to him. Unfortunately, his life was cut short when two dwarves, Fjalar and Galarr, murdered him and drained his blood into a large vessel called Óðrœrir, which they used to create a mead of poetry that granted the drinker great poetic skill. In Old Norse, Kvasir's name is derived from the verb kvasa, meaning "to ferment" or "to seethe," reflecting his association with the mead of poetry. The Hebrew translation for Kvasir is קְבָסִיר (Q'vasir), while in German, it is Kwasir, and in French, it is Kvasir. Kvasir's story is primarily found in the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, two major sources of Norse mythology.
