Who is Loki?

Answer 1

Loki Laufeyjarson is the mythical being of mischief in Norse mythology, a son of the giants Fárbauti and Laufey, and foster-brother of Odin. He is described as the "contriver of all fraud". He mixed freely with the gods for a long time, even becoming Odin's blood brother. Despite much research, "the figure of Loki remains obscure; there is no trace of a cult, and the name does not appear in place-names"[1]. In mythological terms, Loki is not a god, as he has no cult or followers (no evidence has ever been found or even referrenced such), rather he is a mythological or mythical being (like any other giant). This is further supported by the fact that he was not a member of either the Æsir or Vanir, the two groupings of gods.

Like Odin (though to a lesser extent), Loki bears many names : the Sly-One, the Sly-God, the Shape-Changer, the Trickster, the Sky Traveller, the Sky Walker, the Lie-Smith and Loftur among others.

The composer Richard Wagner presented Loki under an invented Germanized name Loge in his opera Das Rheingold--Loge is also mentioned, but does not appear as a character, in Die Walküre and Götterdämmerung. The name comes from the common mistranslation and confusion with Logi (a fire-giant), which has created the misconception of Loki being a created of fire, having fire for hair or being associated with fire, like the Devil in Christian mythology

Loki is the Norse God of mischief. He was always in trouble and causing trouble for people and the Norse gods. Thor (god of thunder) tolerated him, and that is about all. Loki is found in books from all cultures these days.

Answer 4

God of mischief. Actually he wasn't either good or bad, he was more like a human, a mixed. He's father of Fenris who eventually was gonna to be an important player of the Ragnarok, the apocalypse. Loki kill Balder, Odin's son, and trigged the Ragnarok.

Answer 5

*twitches* It seems that noone remembers their mythology.

He is connected to magic and fire,and is often called the trickster god because while he's crafty and malicious, he's also heroic. which is why people associate him with the North Amrican trickster.

He's blood brothers with Odin, which makes him Aesir. He is Father to Fenrir, Jormungand and Hel by one wife, Narvi and Vali by another wife, Einmyria and Eisaby his first wife, and Mother of Sleipnir.

He was the one who gave Thor Mjolnir, Odin Gungir and Frejya Brisingamen. He is presently being unfairly punished for killing Baldur, chained to a rock undera mountain, his wife Sigyn by his side, catching the venom from a snake in a bowl.
