* Höðr, a god in Norse mythology, often spelled Hod

In the Gylfaginning part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda Höðr is introduced in an ominous way.

In the 13th century Prose Edda, due to the scheming of Loki, the god Baldr is killed by his brother, the blind god Höðr, by way of a mistletoe projectile, despite the attempts of Baldr's mother, the goddess Frigg, to have all living things and inanimate objects swear an oath not to hurt Baldr after Baldr had troubling dreams of his death.

Commentators sometimes suggest Lóðurr is identical to Loki, and of course in the Icelandic texts that have come down to us it is Loki who is Baldr's real slayer, with Höðr / Hother being only a tool in Loki's plot.

According to Saxo, it is Höðr, Aðils ' brother who became the king of both Denmark and Sweden.

Nanna is only interested in Höðr and weds him, while Baldr wastes away from nightmares about Nanna.

Nanna is attracted to her foster-brother Höðr ( also here a human ), son of Hothbrodd, and " seeks his embraces ".

They inform Höðr that Baldr witnessed Nanna bathing, yet warn Höðr not to challenge Baldr to combat — no matter what he may do — for Baldr sprang from divine seed and is therefore a demi-god.

In Sweden, Höðr is attacked by Baldr and defeated.

Each arrow overshot his head ( 1902 ) by Elmer Boyd Smith, depicting the blind god Höðr shooting his brother, the god Baldr, with a mistletoe arrow

He was birthed for the sole purpose of killing Höðr as revenge for Höðr's accidental murder of his twin brother, Baldr.

Later in Gylfaginning ( chapter 49 ), High recounts Baldr's death in Asgard at the unwitting hands of his blind brother, Höðr.

The Swedish king Høtherus ( based on the god Höðr ), the brother of Athislus, succeeded Roluo and became the king of a combined Sweden and Denmark.

Yet looking far into the future the Völva sees a brighter vision of a new world, when both Höðr and Baldr will come back ( stanza 62 ).

Odin rides to Hel and awakens a seeress, who tells him Höðr will kill Baldr but Vali will avenge him ( stanzas 9, 11 ).

Loki offered to help Höðr in honoring Baldr by shooting things at him.

Höðr took the mistletoe from Loki and, following Loki's directions, shot at Baldr.

Loki tricks Höðr into shooting Baldr.

Loki, upon finding out about Baldr's one weakness, made a missile from mistletoe, and helped Höðr shoot it at Baldr.

Here, Höðr and Baldr are mentioned as returning from Hel in a post-Ragnarök world:

In the Gesta Danorum version of the story, Baldr and Höðr are rival suitors, and Höðr kills Baldr with a sword named Mistilteinn ( Old Norse " mistletoe ").

An account provided by Saxo Grammaticus in his 12th century work Gesta Danorum records Nanna as a human female, the daughter of King Gevar, and the love interest of both the demi-god Baldr and the human Höðr.

Spurred by their mutual attraction to Nanna, Baldr and Höðr repeatedly do battle.

" Fearing that Höðr will serve as an obstacle for his conquest of Nanna, Baldr resolves to slay Höðr.

Her stepchildren are Thor, Hermóðr, Heimdallr, Týr, Bragi, Víðarr, Váli, Skjöldur, and Höðr.

There, Höðr, since he was blind, stood at the edge of the circle of people.

After this, Odin and the giantess Rindr gave birth to Váli, who grew to adulthood within a day and slew Höðr.

He grew to full adulthood within one day of his birth, and slew Höðr.

It looks as though Lother has been confused with Höðr.

Herebeald would then be corresponding to Balder, Hæþcyn to Höðr and Hreðel to Odin.

While out hunting, Höðr loses his path in a mist and a group of forest maidens greet him by name.
