Loki was a crafty trickster in Norse mythology who could change his shape and sex. Despite the fact that his father was the colossal Fárbauti, he was counted among the Aesir (a tribe of gods). Loki was shown as Odin and Thor’s buddy, assisting them with their ingenious schemes but occasionally causing humiliation and difficulties for them and himself. He also appeared as a god’s adversary, barging into their meal uninvited and demanding their drink. He was the primary cause of the god Balder’s death. Loki was punished by being chained to a rock (by the entrails of one or more of his sons, according to some sources), and thus resembled the Greek figures Prometheus and Tantalus in many ways. Loki, like Prometheus, is regarded as a deity of fire.
Hel, the goddess of death; Jörmungand, the serpent who ringed the earth; and Fenrir (Fenrislfr), the wolf, were Loki's three children with the female giant Angerboda (Angrboda: "Distress Bringer"). Odin's eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, is claimed to have been conceived in Loki's womb.
The origins of Loki in pre-Christian Scandinavia are unknown. Unlike other Norse gods, Loki does not occur in place names, and there is no sign of a worship in the medieval texts from which much of what we know about him derives.
