Tiw, also known as Týr, is a god from Norse mythology associated with war and justice. He is often depicted as a brave and noble figure, known for his willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. Tiw is particularly famous for losing his hand to the monstrous wolf Fenrir while binding it, showcasing his courage and commitment to protecting the gods and humanity. In the context of the days of the week, Tiw's name is reflected in Tuesday, which is derived from the Old English word "Tiw's day." This connection highlights his significance in ancient Germanic cultures, where he was revered as a deity of law and order, embodying the principles of honor and sacrifice.
