In Norse mythology, according to the ''Gylfaginning'', Annar (Old Norse Annarr 'second, another') is the father of Jörð (Mother Earth) by Nótt (the Night). The form Ónar (Old Norse Ónarr 'gaping') is found as a variant. Annar/Ónar is also the name of a dwarf in the catalogue of dwarfs in the ''Völuspá'' that is repeated in the ''Gylfaginning''. ==Attestations== In the pseudo-historical genealogy of Odin's ancestors in the introduction to Snorri Sturluson's ''Prose Edda'', a certain Athra is said to be he "whom we call Annar". What this refers to is unknown. (See Sceafa for discussion of the section of this genealogy in which Annar appears.) In the ''Gylfaginning'' Snorri writes of Nótt:〔''Gylfaginning'' 10, 36.〕〔Lindow (2001:205).〕 She was given to the man named Naglfari; their son was Aud. Afterward she was wedded to him that was called Annar; Jörð () was their daughter. Snorri might have been using a source in which ''annar'' 'second, another' was intended to mean Odin, for he himself had just previously written of Odin: "The earth was his daughter and his wife...". But in the ''Skáldskaparmál'' Snorri uses the form ''Ónar'' instead, giving "daughter of Ónar" as one of the kennings for Jörð. Snorri also cites from Hallfreðr vandræðaskáld: In council it was determined His grandson is the god Thor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
