AnjaBlode1) Kamigami no Asobi, episode 11: Loki wants to kill Balder, a necessity, not simply out of pure jealousy. Balder is also portrayed as the god of destruction, who will destroy absolutely everything. Yet another reinterpretation of the Norse sources. Apparently, the only thing left to do is to kill Balder. And hey, here we have the reference to the mistletoe branch from the Prose Edda, which never swore not to harm Balder. #norsemythology #loki #anime #balder #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯 #proseedda
Kamigami no Asobi, Episode 10: We have a clear reference here to Loki's involvement in Ragnarok (cf. Norse sources). During the play, he clearly states that he is planning a coup d'état. At the very end, he is teased that his hair resembles a tail. Is this a reference to prose edda? Here, Loki transforms himself into a mare (which is why I mention a tail), mates with the stallion Svadilfari, and gives birth to Sleipnir. #norsemythology #loki #anime #kamigaminoasobi #神々の悪戯 #ragnarok #proseedda
Kamigami no Asobi Episode 7: Balder explains why he cannot be hurt, see Prose Edda. Thor is surprisingly calm. This does not correspond with the medieval sources. We also see a somewhat mischievous Loki, who deliberately misbehaves, but it also appears that he is simply jealous or wants to avoid upcoming difficulties.

Kamigano no Asobi, episode 3: the gods discuss their food, and Loki doesn't really care. Yet he is a glutton. In Gylfagynning of the Prose Edda, Loki claims he can eat faster than anyone else. He competes against Logi, but loses. Logi represents fire and even consumes the trough that held the food. No wonder Loki loses. Maybe Loki doesn't care what he gets to eat in the series. The important thing is food. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #loki #edda #proseedda
Bevan ThomasAccording to Snorri Sturluson, if the Norse gods need an arbitrator in their conflicts, they turn to either Forseti or Tyr. Forseti is better as he will seek a peaceful resolution that satisfies both sides while the stern Tyr "is not called a reconciler of men."

EssAeEmBuilt by the dwarf sons of Ivaldi and gifted to the Norse god Frey, Skíðblaðnir was called the best of ships in the Prose Edda. No matter what direction this magical boat traveled, a fair wind was always with it. #MythologyMonday
