Question

Answer 1

This is what I found in the Theogeny. Loke is not mentioned anywhere, but three others are.

(ll. 713-735) And amongst the foremost Cottus and Briareos and Gyes insatiate for war raised fierce fighting: three hundred rocks, one upon another, they launched from their strong hands
and overshadowed the Titans with their missiles, and buried them beneath the wide-pathed earth, and bound them in bitter chains when they had conquered them by their strength for all their
great spirit, as far beneath the earth to Tartarus. For a brazen anvil falling down from heaven nine nights and days would reach the earth upon the tenth: and again, a brazen anvil falling from
earth nine nights and days would reach Tartarus upon the tenth.
Round it runs a fence of bronze, and night spreads in triple line all about it like a neck-circlet, while above grow the roots of the earth and unfruitful sea. There by the counsel of Zeus who
drives the clouds the Titan gods are hidden under misty gloom, in a dank place where are the ends of the huge earth. And they may not go out; for Poseidon fixed gates of bronze upon it, and a
wall runs all round it on every side. There Gyes and Cottus and great-souled Obriareus live, trusty warders of Zeus who holds the aegis.

Answer 2

Loki's actually a Norse trickster god. Here's his wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki He wasn't a jailer; he was jailed.

Tartarus is a place and a god in Greek mythology, sort of like Hades. His punishment was to be chained to a rock in a river with a berry bush just out of reach, so that he couldn't quench his thirst or his hunger.

Answer 3

*sigh
Loki is a Norse God. He is Odin blood brother. He is a "trickster" but he is more. He is an intrigal part of the Gods. He respect Thor but get's Baldr killed with mistletoe and was chained in a cave intil Ragnarok where snake venom will drip on his face and eat it away. (Word to the wise, don't piss off the Gods)

Answer 4

"Loki's actually a Norse trickster god. Here's his wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/loki... He wasn't a jailer; he was jailed."

Loki is FAR more than just a "trickster god". To say so pigeon holes him and shows lack of understanding of not only him, but the role he has. If you read the lore instead of heavily edited sources like Wikipedia you would see that.Loki was not jailed, he was bound.
