Re: Question about Tuesday
in reply to a message by serasin
One theory(courtesy of Edith Hamiliton's "Mythology") is that Tuesday is the corrupted form of Tyr's Day. Tyr was the Norse god of war.
You might also want to know that Friday is generally thought of as Freya's Day, from the goddess Freya, Norse deity of love and beauty. Less well accepted is the interpretation of Friday as Frigga's Day. According to Norse myths, she is Odin's (Wodin's) wife.

I found Fria as an alternative spelling of Freya, but thanks!
