The pig was called Sarimner. Odin decided over both Gods and humans. To his help he had many animals. His horse was named Sleipner, it had eight legs and could easily run in the sky. His pig was Sarimner, it was boiled and was eaten every night but in the morning it was alive again. Odin never ate of the food that was served, he gave it to his two wolves, Gere and Freke. Odin only drank wine, that was enough for both food and drink to him. Odin also had two ravens that were called Hugin and Munin, they flew every night out into the world and found out all new things that had happened. Later they sat on Odin's shoulders and told him the news, that's why he was the wisest of the Gods.

I thought a good Nordic name for a pig was Hamlet.
