Who is the Norse of the Greek Venus?

Unlike Roman religion, which borrowed from Greek myth extensively and has clear equivalents to Hellenic deities, Norse religion developed in isolation from Greek and Roman mythos. There is no clear equivalent to Venus (who was a Roman goddess, equivalent to Aphrodite in Greek myths) in Norse mythology. However, as a goddess of love, beauty and sexuality, she has a strong semblance to Freyja, who serves all the same functions in the Norse pantheon.

The Norns of Norse mythology how are they equivalent to greek mythology?

Norse mythology and Greco-Roman mythology are not equivalent; they did not share concepts like Greeks and Romans did. However, the Norns bear a strong resemblance to the Fates in Greek mythology.The Fates were a trio of goddesses (Clotho, Lachesis and Atropo) who spun a thread for each human life and cut it based on how long they destined that human to live. One sister (Clotho) spun the thread; another measured it (Lachesis) and the third cut it (Atropo).The Norns are a group of gods and goddesses of which three are considered particulary important (Urdr, Verdandi and Skuld) because they tend to the tree that upholds the nine worlds of Norse mythology, Yggdrasil. Other norns are responsible for prophesying the destiny of each individual. The Norse believed in a concept they called wyrd which is essentially similar to the Christian concept of free will, so while the Fates determined the length of a person's life, the Norns likely only prophesied a range of possibilities for a person's future.

In Norse mythology there are norns who decide on the fate of the world and no one can change that but in classical mythology there are fates - Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos.They span the thread of human destiny and cut it off with shears when ever they wanted to.


What are the weaknesses of Clotho Lachesis and Athropos?

They are the Fates. In NORSE mythology they have only one eye between them, which can be stolen.
