- Borr
Borr or Burr (sometimes anglicized Bor or Bur) was the son of
Búri and the father ofOdin inNorse mythology . He is mentioned in the "Gylfaginning " part ofSnorri Sturluson 's "Prose Edda ".Borr is not mentioned again in the Prose Edda. In skaldic and eddaic poetry Odin is occasionally referred to as "Borr's son" but no further information on Borr is given. Other sources are silent.
The role of Borr in the mythology is unclear and there is no indication that he was worshipped in
Norse paganism .References
