In the centre of the world was formed Asgard, within which the gods and goddesses made their home. Within Asgard, Odin set up his throne, with his wife named Frigg. From them the divine family of the Æsir are descended. That is why Odin is known as ‘All-Father’, for he is father of all gods and men. The first god to be born was Thor, who was extremely strong and could overcome all living things.
