Ouch! Clifford huffed with a frown when Professor Lupa let him fall the the ground carelessly. Hmpf. Rubbing his sore backside, he watched the Professor levitate Evangeline. One-armed Evangeline. That Professor was off her rocker.
"Evangeline is Tyr," Clifford begun with a small smile up at his girlfriend. "Tyr's the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory and he's ... only got one hand." Hence the reason Professor Lupa had taken away Evangeline's. GRR. He wished he'd been Tyr. "Yeah, his hand got destroyed by the Fenris wolf, or something. Oooh. And y'know the day of the week Tuesday? That's in fact 'Tyr's Day.'"

"I agree Evangaline does seem to be Tyr. I believe that Tyr is son of Hymir, he has one arm and is god of single combat, victory and heroic glory." Chalice said slightly oddly. That was what she thought, but others had said similar things.

Evangeline had been expecting her to be next, but she had - somehow - thought that Lupa would spare her from the levitating thing. But the woman was evil. Pure evil and the sixteen year old soon found herself floating around the room. Oh dear. Oh dear. Sure, it wasn't THAT high, but Lupa was the one thing keeping her from falling. Oh dear.
"I'm Tyr. The god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology." The sixth year replied, very awkwardly raising her one hand. Hmmm. Was there a point when she was already on air? She just didnt want to lose points. "He's pictured as a one handed man ... obviously." The girl rolled her eyes a bit as she nodded towards the place where her arm should be. "He's called the "Leavings of the Wolf", since he lost his hand so that the wolf Fenrir could be bounded by the gods."

Shauna, who has been silent for the greater part of the class, puts her hand in the air. "Evangeline is Tyr. Some believe that he was considered father of the Gods and head of the Pantheon at one point."

He's also been portrayed as being a one-handed man, which is erm...well, you know, why Evangline currently has only one arm, as well," Anna said, giving her co-prefect an apologetic look. She briefly shivered at the thought of Evangeline sitting there, one-armed and appearing quite calm about it. Anna wasn't so sure she could remain that calm under those situations. "He was the son of Odin, although some believe he may have been the son of Hymir instead. He could have once been considered the father of the gods and head of the pantheon, which is the temple to all the gods."

Upon seeing Clifford fall down with a thud, Willow blinked a couple of times. Ouch. That probably hurt.
And then she raised her hand again to reply, "Evangeline Green is Tyr, Professor, the one-armed God of warfare, single battle, heroic glory and victory, according to the Norse Mythology." Eyeing the Slytherin prefect floating above them all, Willow shrugged a little with an expression that was very close to be an apathetic one, before continuing, "Also, it is known that the word 'Tuesday' is a derivation from Tyr. He was also known for his great honesty and courage, ma'am."

Raiden put his hand up. "Evangeline Green is supposed to be Tyr." Poor Evangeline, with her missing arm. "Tyr's called the one-handed man, because he's missing, well... his arm. Tuesday is supposed to be Tyr's day, because they used to pronouce Tyr like 'Teuw.' He uhm, he helped to tie up the wolf Fenrir, who was supposed to have eaten the sun should he get loose..." he thought for a second. "There was a werewolf a looooong time ago named Fenrir, wasn't there?" He swore he'd read about a werewolf named Fenrir... who had nommed on people when the moon wasn't full. He'd probably given all werewolves a really bad name... He made a face. "And apparently he took the sacrifices of people who got hanged..."

Miles started to feel naucius at just looking at the floating students. He HATED heights, and he was so glad he hadn't volunteered. He raised his hand.
"Prefect Green is, in Norse Mythology, the son of Odin and the the god of single combat, victory, and heroic glory. He is known as the 'Leavings of the Wolf', because he sacrificed his right hand to Fenrir, who would only be tied to a special silky ribbon thingy which he could not break, unless one of the gods put their hand in his mouth." Miles flicked through his textbook. "And because Tyr is brave and stuff, he was willing to do it."

He only had one hand because he put his right hand in the mouth of the Fenris wolf to keep the wold bound because, when set free, the wolf is destined to devour the Sun- the story of the Fenris wolf is in The Prose Edda too. Tyr has a day named after him too; Tuesday. He is represented by several symbols, a spear, a hand or glove and the North Star, which is also known as the Nail or the Tyr star."

Ouch. That fall looked like it hurt, even if he wasn't very fond of Clifford. He raised his hand at her next question. "Evangeline represents Tyr, the one handed god of warfare. He also is the god of victory and glory, and his name helps us to get the word Tuesday. He's also the son of Odin," he explained.
| "Perfect! Five points each" She said clapping. Quote:

He was also described as very brave and honorable, which I guess can be evidenced in the story of how he lost his hand to the great wolf Fenrir. I actually think that story is really fascinating, considering that Tyr willingly sacrificed his hand so that the wolf could be bound by a dwarf-made ribbon and would stop running rampant on the people and gods. According to legend, the ribbon still holds Fenrir, which means that the loss of one hand would have been a pretty good trade."
| "Cope, Single combat isn't hand to hand..." She said shaking her head. "Single combat is when in a battle one team choses a champion and the other one too, and then they fight each other... Wands, swords, anything goes. But the rest of your answer is right. Five points." She said nodding. Quote:

"K... homework! Mythology was spoken and painted... So you will write a short play or scene, with these five characters and what you know of them. And by short I mean no more than one page.
