Origin

Drawn reproduction of a Geatish bracteate possibly depicting Týr's hand being bitten by Fenrir (c. AD 400-500)

Týr is a Norse god associated with battle. According to the Sigrdrífumál of the Poetic Edda and the Gylfaginning of the Prose Edda, Týr was invoked to increase chances of victory in battle; while these references to Týr's cult date to after Iceland was already Christianized, they probably have roots in older oral tradition.

In mythology, it is said that one of his hands was bitten off by the wolf Fenrir whilst the other gods were binding it. During Ragnarök, it is said Týr will be eaten by the wolf Garm.

Týr stems from a common Germanic tradition. Tacitus mentions the Germans as worshiping Mars, which has been speculated to refer to Týr, and the day of the week Tuesday (lit. "day of Týr") is a Germanic adaptation of the Latin dies Martis (day of Mars).

The rune (equivalent to the Latin-alphabet t) is named for Týr in the Norwegian and Icelandic rune poems.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
(Akuma Zensho; PSP)

出身地:北欧

北欧神話の神々の中で最も勇敢とされる軍神。裁きや誓約を司る正義の神でもある。

軍神であるティールは、ローマではマルス神と同一視される存在で、英語のTuesday(火曜日)は、彼の名前に由来している。

ティールの右手首から先は、怪狼フェンリルを魔法の紐グレイプニルで捕縛するときに犠牲となったため、無い。彼はこの行為によって、神々の中でも最も勇敢だとされている。
Translation: Place of origin:
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
(3DS)

A war god known for his courage in Norse mythology. He lost his right hand when Fenrir bit it off, but it was because of this heroic deed he is regarded as brave. While he is a war god, he is also a god of law and justice. Equated with the Roman god Mars, the day Tuesday comes from his name.

Kētai Akuma Densho

北欧の神々の中で最も勇敢であるとされる戦いの神。裁きや誓約を司る司法神でもある。

出身地:北欧
ティールは北欧神話に登場する戦いの神で、彼の右手首から先はフェンリル狼に食いちぎられて失われたため片手の神として表されるが、彼はこの行為によって神々の中で最も勇敢であると言われるようになった。彼はまた、戦いにおける勝敗を司る神であると同時に、裁きや誓約を司る神であるとも言われている。ローマでは火星の守護神である軍神マルスと同一視されており、英語のTuesday(火曜日)の語源は彼の名前から来ていると言われる。
Translation:
Kaneko Kazuma Dennō Akuma Zukan 軍神で、北欧神話ではオーディンよりも古い神と記述されている。腰に剣を差した、右手首から先がない戦士の姿であらわされるのだが、これは神話の中で、フェンリルを縄で縛るため右手を失ったという記述があるため。北欧神話における最終決戦ラグナロクでは、地獄の番犬ガルムと相討ちとなって死ぬとされている。

Nomenclature

The name Týr (*tīwaz in Proto-Germanic) was originally a common noun meaning "god" (from the Proto-Indo-European *deywós); Indo-European cognates include the Latin deus and the Sanskrit deva.[1] The word týr (plural tívar) is still used as a generic word for "god" in Old Norse literature.
