XXXIII.
Also numbered among the Æsir is he whom some call the mischief-monger
of the Æsir, and the first father of falsehoods, and blemish of all gods
and men: he is named Loki or Loptr, son of Fárbauti the giant; his mother
was Laufey or Nál; his brothers are Býleistr and Heiblindi. Loki
is beautiful and comely to look upon, evil in spirit, very fickle in habit.
He surpassed other men in that wisdom which is called 'sleight,' and had artifices
for [42]
all occasions; he would ever bring the Æsir into great hardships,
and then get them out with crafty counsel. His wife was called Sigyn, their
son Nari or Narfi.
