Sleipnir is an eight-legged horse in Norse mythology, ridden by the god Odin. The name "Sleipnir" is Old Norse and can be translated to Hebrew as שלייפניר. In other languages, it is known as "Sleipnir" in Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian, "Sleipnir" in Icelandic, and "Sleipnir" in Faroese. Sleipnir is considered the best of all horses and is described as being able to travel through the air and over the sea, as well as traversing the realms of the cosmos. He is the offspring of the stallion Svadilfari and the giantess Angrboða, and his birth is a result of the trickery of the god Loki. Sleipnir plays a significant role in Norse mythology, often serving as Odin's steed during his travels and adventures. The horse's unique characteristics and abilities make him a notable figure in the pantheon of Norse gods and creatures.
