Norse Myths and Classical Myths: Seventh Post (Hel)
I had forgotten that Hel was Loki’s daughter. Even she is portrayed as fairly stereotypically female in this particular tale. There are a lot of things left unexplained in Norse mythology - Odin’s connection to Loki, what the mysterious power above Odin might be (since it’s evidently not the fates), etc. It’s certainly interesting.
