A raven or crow is one of several species of birds belonging to the genus Corvus. Recognizable as black birds, they inhabit most of the globe. There is no consistent distinction between "crows" and "ravens", though generally crows are considered smaller than ravens.[1]

Mythology

In Greek mythology, a place called Raven's Rock was where Odysseus planned the demise of his wife Penelope's suitors.[2] Even by the time of the Peloponnesian War, the place was home to a sizable flock of ravens.[3]

In Norse mythology, Odin was said to have two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who kept him informed of all the goings-on across the Nine Realms.[4]

History

While travelling through the Realm of Svartálfaheimr in the days leading up to the Great Catastrophe, Odin often came across giant ravens, which he could kill and collect feathers from to upgrade the Hugr-Rip.[5] Unlike their smaller counterparts, these large birds tended to be more solitary in nature, thought they were known to be exceptionally dangerous if gathered in groups.[6]

During the 9th century, a raven named Sýnin accompanied the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir on her journeys throughout Norway, England,[4] Ireland,[7] and Francia.[8] Eivor was also a member of the Raven Clan and their settlement was named Ravensthorpe. Their connection to ravens signifies wisdom, guidance, and the presence of Odin, which aligns with the Viking belief system and their reverence for the gods. This reflects their cultural and spiritual ties to these powerful symbols, emphasizing their connection to the divine and their quest for knowledge and power.

In the Renaissance, at the underground arenas of Rome, Corvo Antonelli was an unofficial gladiator champion and adopted his title of "The Crow".[9]

In the 16th century Renaissance, the Italian Templars Cesare Borgia and Sirus Favero own an "Assassin troop" named Crows to against the Assassins.[10]

In the Victorian era, ravens were a common sight in London.[11][12]

Cultural significance

As a black bird, raven has been used throughout human history to highlight the darkness of a person's hair.[13][14][15][16]
