e/Hjuki and Bil

New Query

Information
has glosseng: In Norse mythology, Hjúki (Old Norse, possibly meaning "the one returning to health" ) and Bil (Old Norse, possibly meaning "moment" ) are a brother and sister pair of children who follow the personified moon, Máni, across the heavens. Both Hjúki and Bil are solely attested in the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Scholarly theories that surround the two concern their nature, their role as potential personifications of the craters on the moon or its phases, and speculate about a relation between the tale of the two and the English nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill" and later folklore in Germanic Europe.
