It should be carefully understood that unlike Greco-Roman mythology- Norse mythology was at once a more sombre and even spooky place. there are in many cases no direct paralells to the familiar Greek Gods and Goddesses. There was NO solar deity, for example ( unlike Apollo, Helios, the Egyptian RA) and so on. Cronus was identified with time ( for example the word chronology) Saturn comes close in Roman mythology- keyed to the Greek model, but there is no precise equivalent in the Aesir. Heimdall, the messenger and Trumpet player- is also the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, and shows some similaritied with both Mercury and the Judeo-Christian Gabriel.- but that is about it. No Time Titan, so to speak. read Hamilton"s mythology to learn more.
