Geri dan Freki
Dalam mitologi Nordik, Geri dan Freki (berturut-turut berarti "si serakah" dan "si rakus") adalah dua serigala yang setia mendampingi Dewa Odin duduk bertakhta di atas singgasananya. Geri dan Freki adalah penjaga pribadi sang dewa.[1]
Etimologi
The names Geri and Freki have been interpreted as meaning either "the greedy one" or "the ravenous one".[2] The name Geri can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic adjective geraz, attested in Burgundian girs, Old Norse gerr and Old High German ger or giri, all of which mean "greedy".[3]
