or Hoenir, according to Germanic mythology, was a member of the Aesir group of gods and brother of Odin, the chief god. Apart from a terrible inability to make up his mind, his other prominent characteristic was said to be his long-leggedness. Sent to live among the Vanir as a token of goodwill after peace was agreed between the two warring branches of the gods, Honir unfortunately proved to be a grave disappointment to his new companions, who became increasingly angry at the way he appeared always to rely on his fellow Aesir, the wise Mimir, when it came to making decisions of any kind. The Vanir therefore killed Mimir and sent his head back to the Aesir. In some versions of the Germanic creation story, it was believed that Honir was the god who gave humans their senses.
