Lokasenna

Lokasenna, known also as "Loki's Flyting", is a poem in the Elder Edda. In this poem the gods (particularly Odin and Loki) trade insults.

The setting is a feast given by the sea god Aegir. Thor did not attend, however his wife Sif came in his stead as did Bragi and his wife Idunna. Tyr, by this time one-handed as a consequence of his sacrifice of his hand in the shackling of Loki's son, the wolf Fenrir attended, as did Niord and his wife Skadi, Freyr and Freya, as well as Vidhar, the son of Odin. Many other Vanir and Aesir also were there.
