He sacrificed one of his hands for the good of the gods. In Asgard, the land of the gods, there was a demonic wolf called Fenrir. He was so huge and fierce that only Tyr would dare to approach him. The gods decided to tie the wolf up, using an unbreakable chain forged by dwarfs. The wolf, wanting proof that the chain was harmless, asked that one of the gods put a hand in his mouth as the chain was slipped on. The beast was disappointed to find the chain could not be broken. Tyr had sacrificed his hand so that the gods could feel safer. Odin took Tyr’s place as Sky god around the eighth and ninth centuries. One story about Tyr is that once the gods (mainly Odin, the tricky one) captured Fenrir the wolf with a trick. Odin told Fenrir that this was only a game, and Fenrir should let the gods chain him up as part of the game. The wolf Fenrir was suspicious, and wouldn’t let himself be chained up until Tyr offered to guarantee the deal by putting his own hand in the wolf’s mouth as a sort of hostage. But it turned out to be a trick, and once Fenrir was chained up he could not break the chain, and the other gods would not let Fenrir go. So Tyr let Fenrir bite his hand off, and now he only has one hand. The story shows how Tyr always stands by his promises, no matter what.
