Perhaps a discussion of Ymir in fiction deserves merit?

Remeber, Atali from the Conan series is Ymir's daughter. SSOC#141 establishes that Ymir defeated a group of vampires.

İn a pc game(disciples) the name of ymir is used as a very strong warrior giant of dwarf clans.

Ymir cameoed in Wonder Woman#276 or so.

Aside from that, he appeared in a 1980's Spider-Man cartoon and his daughter Atali showed up in Conan the Adventurer.

The assertion that "Ymir" is cognate to "Yama" is baseless. To be removed. RandomCritic 04:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In popular culture

The name Ymir appears in Tales of Symphonia (game) as a tree bearing a special fruit. The game references a lot of Norse mythology, could the name of the tree also be a reference?Jon Fawkes 03:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Ymir is also one of Saturn's newer moons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgills240 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Purusha

The story of Purusha, as described in Rigveda, 10:90 (Mandala 10, hymn 90), is really very similiar -- for me, it's another example of common Indo-European heritage. Should it be quoted here? Greetings, Critto (talk) 00:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
