Bestla is known to be a giantess, both literally and metaphorically speaking. In Norse mythology, she is the daughter of the giant Bolthorn and is married to Bor. They have three sons together, the gods Vili, Ve and Odin. The latter was the father of the Norse gods as well as being the god of wisdom. Bestla is often referred to as the mother of all the gods and her name translates as "wife."
