Tyr and Fenrir
In the Poetic Edda, the gods decided to shackle the wolf Fenrir, but he broke every chain they used to shackle him. Finally, the dwarves make a magical ribbon called Gleipnir. Fenrir sensed the gods' deceit and refused to be bound unless one of them put his hand in the wolf's mouth. Tyr, known for his great honesty and courage, agreed, and the other gods bound Fenrir.
