Carol J. Clover argued that this deity took on the hvatr gender role as an exemplar of the surrogate son. The Heimskringla describes this mother of King Saemingr as being “of sea-bones,” while her epithet of “bright bride of the gods” is referenced in the Grimnismal. It’s not Frigg, but the Ynglinga Saga mentions Odin’s union with this deity, who positioned the serpent that drips venom into Loki’s eyes. In response to another deity’s claim that the howls of (*) wolves are inferior to the songs of swans, this deity complains about the sleep-disrupting screeches of waterfowl before returning to the mountains of Thrymheim. A tug-of-war between a goat and Loki’s testicles amuses this deity in the wake of Thiazi’s demise. For 10 points, what winter goddess of skiing marries Njordr after she fails to identify Baldr’s reportedly attractive feet? ■END■
