I'll save someone the trouble of commenting that Loki and the goat is still a better love story than Twilight.

They say Loki is a trickster...He seems more of a four-year-old lunatic with superpowers...tying his junk to a goat and having a tug of war, shaving Thor's wife's head for no particular reason...He's more of a completely impulsive loon than anyone tricksy or malicious.

@Drakon590 three abrahamic death-cult Islam Judaism Christianity all started with in one city be in Jerusalem. These three religions were tribal religions who we're really only intended to be practiced by people who lived in the area the religions spread through Slaughter Conquest and actual bigotry consider in the three religions have outright lead wiped out entire population centers. But let's talk about bigotry because I called out your b******* religion. Muhammad was a pedophile Jesus was a delusional schizophrenic who traveled with a prostitute in 12 single men likely a mass or G group Judaism is even more batshit crazy as it was started by a schizophrenic who heard inanimate objects talking to him with regularity.

Yeah it's pretty fun to try and think of what they saw, to write it in such a weird way. Maybe Loki's eagle suit was a jet pack or something. perhaps the jotuns eagle form was just a small ship. or maybe it is all fiction, that someone who was bored wrote one day.

This tale is evidence that Thjazi and Idunn are the equivalents to Hades and Persephone, and Cú Raoi Mac Dáire and Bláthnat in irish legends. Basically, the God who rules the underworld (Thjazi, Cú Raoi, Sucellus and Hades) kidnaps the goddess of seasons (Idunn, Bláthnat, Nantosuelta, Persephone) thus creating an unbalance in nature. The god of the underworld faces someone who opposes such kidnapping (Cú Chulainn, Loki) but overwhelms him or her, and still takes the goddess to his realm.
