Motif on the Vang stone (11th century), probably depicting Sköll or Fenrir trying to eat the Sun Depiction of Máni and Sól (1895) by Lorenz Frølich

In Germanic mythology, Sól (Old Norse: [ˈsoːl]) or Sunna (Old High German, and existing as an Old Norse and Icelandic synonym: see Wiktionary sunna), Old English: Siġel, Sunne; Old Frisian: Sunne, Old Saxon: Sunna, Old High German: Sunna, Gothic: 𐍃𐌿𐌽𐌽𐍉, romanized: Sunnō) is the Sun personified as a goddess. In Norse mythology, she travels across the sky in a horse-drawn wagon, a motif dating to the Nordic Bronze Age, as depicted on the Trundholm sun chariot, and is sometimes referred to Álfröðull.
