Still stuck on Kamigami no Asobi: Balder is very clumsy and constantly falls over. However, nothing happens to him and even the forces of nature don't want to hurt him. This is clearly a reference to the Poetic Edda. Frigg makes all things swear not to harm Balder, except for a mistletoe branch, which Loki later uses to kill Balder. I'm curious to see if this will be picked up later in the series. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #balder #loki #mistletoe #edda #poeticedda

A quotation from the Poetic Edda
Now do I see
the earth anew
Rise all green
from the waves again;
The cataracts fall,
and the eagle flies,
And fish he catches
beneath the cliffs.
[Sér hon upp koma
ǫðru sinni
jǫrð ór ægi,
iðjagrœna;
falla forsar,
flýgr ǫrn yfir,
sá er á fjalli
fiska veiðir.]Poetic Edda (800-1100) Old Norse anonymous collection of poems

A quotation from the Poetic Edda
The sun turns black,
earth sinks in the sea,
The hot stars down
from heaven are whirled;
Fierce grows the steam
and the life-feeding flame,
Till fire leaps high
about heaven itself.
[Sól tér sortna,
sígr fold í mar,
hverfa af himni
heiðar stjǫrnur;
geisar eimi
við aldnara,
leikr hár hiti
við himin sjálfan.]Poetic Edda (800-1100) Old Norse anonymous collection of poems

A quotation from the Poetic Edda
Brothers shall fight
and fell each other,
And sisters’ sons
shall kinship stain;
Hard is it on earth,
with mighty whoredom;
Axe-time, sword-time,
shields are sundered,
Wind-time, wolf-time,
ere the world falls;
Nor ever shall
each other spare.
[Brœðr munu berjask
ok at bǫnum verða,
munu systrungar
sifjum spilla;
hart er í heimi,
hórdómr mikill;
skeggǫld, skálmǫld
— skildir ru klofnir —
vindǫld, vargǫld,
áðr verǫld steypisk;
mun engi maðr
ǫðrum þyrma.]Poetic Edda (800-1100) Old Norse anonymous collection of poems
