Frigga

Frigga, in northern mythology, the wife of Odin, who seems to have occupied an analogous position to that of Venus in Roman mythology. She was also the goddess of the earth and of marriage, and was frequently confounded, and latterly quite identified, with Freyja (q.v.). She was the only Scandinavian deity placed amongst the stars; Orion's belt is called in Swedish Frigga's distaff. From her Friday takes its name.
