1. Dyau≠ Pitar and His Lost Mythology

4. The Death of Heimdall
(Gylfaginning 51, ed. and translated Faulkes)
Loki á orrostu við Heimdall, ok verðr hvárr annars bani. Því næst slyngur Surtr eldi yfir jörðina ok brennir allan heim.
Loki will have a battle with Heimdall and they will cause each other’s death. After that Surt will fling fire over the earth and burn the whole world.

6. Kennings for Heimdall: Loka dólgr, “Loki’s enemy”
Skáldskaparmál 8, ed. and trans. Faulkes
Hann er ok tilsækir Vágskers ok Singasteins; þá deildi hann við Loka um Brísingamen. Úlfr Uggason kvað í Húsdrápu langa stund eptir þeiri frásogu, ok er þess þar getið, er þeir váru í sela líkjum.
Heimdall is also the visitor to Vágasker and Singasteinn; on that occasion he contended with Loki for the Brísingamen. Úlf Uggason composed a long passage in [his poem] Húsdrápa based on this story, and it is mentioned there that they were in the form of seals.
7. Kenning for Loki: ∏rætudólgr Heimdalar “Wrangler with Heimdall”
Snorri quotes from Úlf’s poem, composed late in the 10^th century (Skáldskaparmál 16, ed. and trans. Faulkes)
Ráðgegninn bregðr ragna

rein- at Singasteini

frægr við firna slœgjan

Fárbauta m|g -vári.

móð|flugr ræðr mœðra

m|gr hafnýra f|gru,

—kynni ek—áðr ok einnar

átta—mærðar þáttum.
Renowned defender [Heimdall] of the power’s way [Bifrost], kind of counsel, competes with Farbauti’s terribly sly son [Loki] at Singasteinn. Son of eight mothers plus one, mighty of mood, is first to get hold of the beautiful sea-kidney [a jewel, perhaps the Brísingamen]—I announce it in strands of praise.

5. Changing Sex is Fundamental to both Loki and Ambā
5.1 Gylfaginning 42 trans. Faulkes (1987: 36.) He takes the form of a mare to distract the stallion Svaðilfœra.
En Loki hafði þá ferð haft til Svaðilfœra, at nokkuru síðar bar hann fyl. Þat var grátt ok hafði átta fœtr, ok er sá hestr beztr með goðum ok m|nnum.
But Loki had had such dealings with Svadilfæri that somewhat later he gave birth to foal. It was grey and had eight legs, and this is the best horse among gods and men.
5.2 Lokasenna “The Flyting of Loki” a poem in which Loki exchanges insults with the other gods ed. Kuhn, trans. Larrington
23. Óðinn qvað:
Veiztu, ef ec gaf þeim er ec gefa né scylda,

inum slævurom, sigr,

átta vetr vartu fyr j|rð neðan

kýr mólcandi ok kona,

ok hefir þú þar born borit,

ok hugða ec þat args aðal
Odin said:
You know, if I gave what I shouldn’t have given,

victory, to the faint-hearted,

yet eight winters you were beneath the earth,

a woman milking cows,

and there you bore children

and I thought that the way of a pervert.

Loki later criticizes Freyja for promiscuity. Njörd rebukes Loki.
33. Njörd qvað
Þat er válítit, þótt sér varðir vers fái,

hós eða hvárs;

hitt er undr, er áss ragr er hér inn of kominn,

ok hefir sá born of borit.
Njörd said:
That’s harmless, if, besides a husband,

a woman has a lover or someone else;

what is surprising is a pervert god coming in here

who has borne children.

(This story is otherwise unknown.)
