Iðunn is introduced as Bragi's wife in the prose introduction to the poem Lokasenna, where the two attend a feast held by Ægir.

Here, Iðunn is described as Bragi's wife and keeper of an eski ( a wooden box made of ash wood and often used for carrying personal possessions ) within which she keeps apples.

Iðunn is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson.

The Prose Edda relates that Loki was once forced by the jötunn Þjazi to lure Iðunn out of Asgard and into a wood, promising her interesting apples.

Þjazi, in the form of an eagle, snatches Iðunn from the wood and takes her to his home.
