In certain Indo-European religions there was a belief in a world tree, such as Yggdrasil, in Norse mythology, and in Hinduism a banyan tree.
Although the concept is absent from the Greek mythology, medieval Greek folk traditions and more recent ones, claim that the Tree that holds the Earth is shewn by goblins (Kallikantzaroi).
