Poetic Works. London Oxford University Press, 1950. ref Synopsis The evil Loki was quickly punished for murdering Balder by being exiled from Asgard . Still, it remains for the gods the sir and the Vanir dwelling in Asgard to bury and to mourn their dead. Partly out of desperate grief and partly in defiance of the harshness of the Norns or fates Odin begs Herm r Hermod to ride his own steed, Sleipnir , down to Hell and beg Hel being Hela to release Balder. Hermod executes the seemingly hopeless task and receives from Hela the unexpected promise that she would release Balder should everything in the upper worlds mourn Balder s death. Before returning to Asgard, Hermod speaks with Balder s shade Balder warns him that Hela s promises are never what they seem and will only bear bitter fruit. Loki himself undertakes to frustrate the sir s hopes appearing as an ugly hag in Middle Earth, he refuses to mourn for Balder thus breaking Hela s stipulated conditions. Hermod returns to Hell to acquaint Balder with the gods failure. Balder accepts what has happened without surprise, and they soon part after Balder relates his vision of the end of the worlds in the approaching conflagration of Ragnar k . ref Arnold, Matthew.

Alv ssm l Talk of Alv ss is poem collected in the Poetic Edda , probably dating to the 11th century Citation needed date October 2009 , that relates a conversation between Thor and a Dvergr dwarf called Alv ss All Wise . Plot Alv ss comes to Thor to claim Thor s daughter as his bride. The daughter had apparently been promised to him earlier. Thor refuses, since he wasn t home when the deal was done. He says Alv ss must answer any question Thor poses to win his daughter. The rest of the poem is mainly a list of comparative names for different entities among men, sir , Vanir , J tunn giants , Norse dwarves dwarves and elf elves , which Alv ss dashes off in reply to Thor s questions. These terms presumably describes the character of their users, although a common denominator cannot easily be discerned.
