The giant ''Ymir''' ([[w:Old Norse|Old Norse]] ''Ýmir'' "twin, hermaphrodite") is the oldest living being in [[w:Norse mythology|Norse mythology]] and corresponds to the [[Adam Kadmon]] of {{Hebrew}} tradition, the [[Pangu]] of [[w:Chinese mythology|Chinese mythology]], the [[Gayomart]] of [[Persian mythology]] or the [[Purusha]] of the Indian [[Vedas]]. His name is considered very old and is linguistically related to the ancient Indian death god [[Yama]] and the ancient Persian [[Yima]].[1] Another giant of the Norse primeval times named '''Aurgelmir''' is often equated with Ymir.

He was a bisexual primordial giant with six heads. He was formed from the mixing of the glacial ice of [[Niflheim]] and the fire of [[Muspelheim]]. He fed on the milk of the primordial cow [[Audhumla]].

When he had drunk from the milk of the primordial cow, he fell asleep. He did not notice that the sword of the fire giant Surtr struck next to him. As it was very hot, [[w:Thrudgelmir|Thrudgelmir]] arose from his sweat. This was a six-headed giant.

The first gods, [[Odin]], [[Vili]] and [[Vé]] killed him and built the world from his body parts: from his flesh was made the earth, from his blood the sea, from his teeth stones and rocks, from his hair the trees, from his eyebrows Midgard, from his skull the sky and from his brain the clouds. The four corners of the sky are supported by the dwarves Nordi, Sudri, Austri and Westri.
