Norse cosmology
Ymir fed from rivers of milk that flowed from the teats of the primordial cow, Auðumbla. Auðumbla fed from salt she licked from rime stones. Over the course of three days, she once licked free a beautiful and strong man, Búri. Búri married a jötunn named Bestla, and the two had three sons: the gods Odin, Vili and Vé. The three sons killed Ymir, and Ymir's blood poured across the land, producing great floods that killed all of the jötnar but two (Bergelmir and his unnamed wife, who sailed across the flooded landscape).
