SOL
Norse Sun Goddess 🌞
Also known as Sól
Sun Goddess chased by a wolf
Like her brother Mani, she rides through the sky in a horse-drawn chariot. And also like her brother, she is chased by a wolf.
Occasionally Skoll, the wolf in question, gets close enough to risk a bite and we get an eclipse. But he’ll never catch her properly until Ragnarok.
Sol gives her name to Sunday via her original Germanic name Sunna — see Sowilo. By an extraordinary coincidence, there’s also a Roman Sun God with a similar name. See Sol.
