What mythology story is ur fav one? (Doesnt matter from which mythology)
Im really really into Norse Mythology and for a while I would listen to the same set of stories over and over...
But I like a particular sorry about Loki. It takes place towards the end of Norse mythology. Years before Ragnarok. Loki plays a trick that is the final straw for the Æsir (all of the Norse Gods) and they hunt him down, he tries to hide but eventually they find him and capture him. They take him to a cave where no one will find him and bring forth his two sons. They turn the first one into a ravenous wolf that attacks the other. Killing his brother. The first son runs of into the woods, and isn't seen again. Whilst the second son lies on the floor on pieces. They take his entrails and use them to tie Loki up. Fastening him to a boulder. They suspend a snake above his head that slowly drips venom into Loki's face, burning him.
And all the whole Loki's wife Sigyn sits by his side keeping Loki company, holding a bowl over his head to catch the venom. Every now and then she must empty the bowl and a few drops of venom spill on Loki's face. He stays like that until Ragnarok years later.
...it's quite a sad story but to me it gives Loki character, and the relationship between him and his wife is quite beautiful. She is dutiful and he cares for her. Despite what some stories may say. He suffers the loss of his sons and loses his freedom.
Loki is my favourite god and there are many of his stories I enjoy. But this one sticks on my mind for some reason...
I kind of miss being connected spiritually this way, the reason I know all of these stories is because my faith follows the Norse Pantheon.
Thank you so much for the question! That was really nice to respond to
