Ravens are by far the most intelligent of birds, and this has gained them a permanent place in mythology. The Nordic god Odin, for instance, had two of them constantly at his side: Hugin and Munin, who kept him up to date on what was happening in the big, wide world. Even the names of the god's two companions testify to the respect given to ravens' intelligence in early times: they are derived from the old Nordic words for "thought" and "memory".
