Vili Vili is another son of Bor and brother of Odin and Ve. The legend goes about the creation of the world. Ymir was the primeval giant and then there was the cow Audhumla. The cow's milk was Ymir's food. While Ymir slept his underarm sweat formed two frost giants, one male one female, while his two legs begat another male.While Ymir was busy procreating, Audhumla was busy eating. Her nourishment came from licking the salty ice. Her incessant licking formed the god Buri. He had a son named Bor who was the father of Odin, Vili, and Ve. For some reason the sons of Bor decided to kill Ymir. His blood caused a flood which killed all of the frost giants except for two, Bergelmir and his wife, who escaped the deluge in their boat. Odin, Vili, and Ve put Ymir's corpse into the middle of ginnungagap and created the earth and sky from it. They also created the stars, sun, and moon from sparks coming out of Muspelheim.
