High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Various gods and men appear as Sons of Odin or Sons of Woden in old Old Norse and Old English texts. Only three gods, Thor, Baldur, and Vali/Bous, are explicitly identified as sons of Odin in the Eddic poems, in the skaldic poems, in Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum, and in the Gylfaginning section of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda. But silence on the matter does not indicate that other gods whose parentage is not mentioned in these works might not also be sons of Odin. According to all skaldic poems, Eddic poems, and Snorri Sturluson's Edda, Thor's mother is Jord, a giantess representing the earth. If any of the other gods present at the banquet are her sons, this would be a taunt to them, but that does not seem to be the case. Snorri also presents Baldur as a son of Odin and Frigg in his Edda. In the Gylfaginning section Snorri calls Baldur "the second son of Odin".
