Bragi generously offers his sword, horse, and an arm ring as peace gift but Loki only responds by accusing Bragi of cowardice, of being the most afraid to fight of any of the Æsir and Elves within the hall.

Bragi responds that if they were outside the hall, he would have Loki's head, but Loki only repeats the accusation.

The poem Lokasenna ( Old Norse " Loki's Quarrel ") centers around Loki flyting with other gods ; Loki puts forth two stanzas of insults while the receiving figure responds with a single stanza, and then another figure chimes in.

Eldir responds that they discuss their " weapons and their prowess in war " and yet no one there has anything friendly to say about Loki.

" Loki responds that Bragi will always be short of all of these things, accusing him of being " wary of war " and " shy of shooting.

" Loki responds to Gefjun by stating that Gefjun's heart was once seduced by a " white boy " who gave her a jewel, and who Gefjun laid her thigh over.

Odin responds that even if this is true, Loki ( in a story otherwise unattested ) once spent eight winters beneath the earth as a woman milking cows, and during this time bore children.

Frigg responds that if there was a boy like her now-deceased son Baldr in the hall, Loki would not be able to escape from the wrath of the gods.

) Tyr responds that while he may have lost a hand, Loki has lost the wolf, and trouble has come to them both.

Thor responds by telling Loki to be silent, threatening him with Mjöllnir, and adding that every one of Loki's bones will be broken with it.

Loki responds that he has bad news for both the elves and the Æsir-that Thor's hammer, Mjöllnir, is gone.

Loki responds by asking Andvari " what requital " does mankind get if " they wound each other with words ".

Loki responds in the stanza 34, stating that " from here you were sent east as hostage to the gods " ( a reference to the Æsir-Vanir War ) and that " the daughters of Hymir used you as a pisspot, and pissed in your mouth.

Loki responds that, even if this is so, he was " first and foremost " at the killing of Þjazi.

Loki shouts and begs the eagle for a truce, and the eagle responds that Loki would not be free unless he made a solemn vow to have Iðunn come outside of Asgard with her apples.

Loki shouted and begged the eagle for a truce, and the eagle responds that Loki would only be freed if he made a solemn vow to have Iðunn come outside of Asgard with her apples.

The goddess Skaði says that while Loki now appears light-hearted and " playing " with his " tail-wagging ," he will soon be bound with his ice-cold son's guts on a sharp rock by the gods.

Skaði says that, with these events in mind, " baneful advice " will always come from her " sanctuaries and plains " to Loki.

Loki says that Skaði was once gentler in speech to him ( referring to himself as the " son of Laufey ") when Skaði once invited him to her bed ( an event that is unattested elsewhere ), and that such events must be mentioned if they are to recall " shameful deeds.

In the prose, Loki has been bound by the gods with the guts of his son Nari, his son Váli is described as having been turned into a wolf, and the goddess Skaði fastens a venomous snake over Loki's face, from which venom drips.

The guts of " Nari or Narfi " are then used to tie Loki to three stones, after which the guts turn to iron, and Skaði places a snake above Loki.

Even so, the gods themselves were related to the giants by many marriages, and there are giants such as Ægir, Loki, Mímir and Skaði, who bear little difference in status to them.

In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Skaði is responsible for placing the serpent that drips venom onto the bound Loki.

Scholars have theorized a potential connection between Skaði and the god Ullr ( who is also associated with skiing and appears most frequently in place names in Sweden ), a particular relationship with the jötunn Loki, and that Scandinavia may be related to the name Skaði ( potentially meaning " Skaði's island ") or the name may be connected to an Old Norse noun meaning " harm ".

After Loki has an exchange with the god Heimdallr, Skaði interjects.

Skaði tells Loki that he is " light-hearted " and that Loki will not be " playing [...] with tail wagging free " for much longer, for soon the gods will bind Loki to a sharp rock with the ice-cold entrails of his son.

Skaði is described as having taken a venomous snake and fastening it above the bound Loki, so that the venom may dip on to Loki's face.

Loki dropped into Skaði's lap, and Skaði laughed, completing this part of her atonement.

Lindow notes that Loki and Skaði appear to have had a special relationship, an example being Skaði's placement of the snake over Loki's face in Lokasenna and Gylfaginning.

That Bragi was also the first to speak to Loki in the Lokasenna as Loki attempted to enter the hall might be a parallel.

Loki used a loophole to get out of the wager for his head ( the wager was for Loki's head only, but he argued that, to remove his head, they would have to injure his neck, which was not in the bargain ) and Brokkr punished him by sealing his lips shut with wire.

When Loki, god of mischief and strife, murdered Baldr, god of beauty and light, he was punished by being bound in a cave with a poisonous serpent placed above his head dripping venom.

Because Loki was Odin's blood brother?

Loki tells Freyja to be silent, calls her a malicious witch, and conjures a scenario where Freyja was once astride her brother when all of the gods, laughing, surprised the two.

Loki witnessed this and was angered by Baldr's invulnerability.

All things did but a giantess by the name of Þökk, regarding whom Snorri writes that " people believe that the giantess was Loki.

Modern scholars such as Lee Hollander explain that Lokasenna was intended to be humorous and that the accusations thrown by Loki in the poem are not necessarily to be taken as " generally accepted lore " at the time it was composed.

Heretic II was later ported to Linux by Loki Software and to the Amiga by Hyperion Entertainment.

Tricked and guided by Loki, he shot the mistletoe arrow which was to slay the otherwise invulnerable Baldr.

In response, Loki calls Freyja a malicious witch, and claims that Freyja was once astride her brother Freyr, when all of the other laughing gods surprised her, Freyja then farted.

The god Tyr defends Freyr, to which Loki replies that Tyr should be silent, for Tyr cannot " deal straight with people ," and points out that it was Loki's son, the wolf Fenrir, who tore Tyr's hand off.

Loki tells Heimdallr to be silent, that he was fated a " hateful life ," that Heimdallr must always have a muddy back, and serve as watchman of the gods.

Loki says that, even if this is his fate, that he was " first and foremost " with the other gods at the killing of Skaði's father, jötnar Þjazi.

Loki states that Thor should never brag of his journeys to the east, claiming that there Thor crouched cowering in the thumb of a glove, mockingly referring to him as a " hero ," and adding that such behaviour was unlike Thor.

The narrative continues that Loki was bound with the entrails of his son Nari, and his son Narfi changed into a wolf.

" Loki states that it was indeed an effort, and also a success, for he has discovered that Þrymr has the hammer, but that it cannot be retrieved unless Freyja is brought to Þrymr as his wife.

The prose introduction to Reginsmál details that, while the hero Sigurd was being fostered by Regin, son of Hreidmar, Regin tells him that once the gods Odin, Hœnir, and Loki went to Andvara-falls, which contained many fish.

Gylfi is furthermore informed that when Loki had engendered Hel, she was cast into Niflheimr by Odin:
