Not by himself. Ginnungagap, the icy void, existed before all. But the heat from fiery Muspelheim met the frosty vapor from frozen Niffleheim, and ice melted drop by drop to refreeze in the forms of Ymir, the first Frost Giant, and Audhumbla (sp?), the First Cow. Audhumbla licked the shape of Buri, the First Man, out of the ice. Odin was Buri’s grandson. He and his brothers Vili and Ve together slew Ymir and created Midgard out of his corpse.
