Lif is a figure from Norse mythology, known as the first human to emerge after the cataclysmic event called Ragnarok. According to the myths, Lif and his partner, Lifthrasir, survived by hiding in a forest called Hoddmimir's Wood, where they fed on the dew that fell from the trees. After Ragnarok, Lif and Lifthrasir repopulated the Earth, symbolizing hope and renewal. Their story highlights the themes of survival and rebirth in Norse beliefs, illustrating how life can begin anew even after great destruction.
