Part I: The Poetic Edda

**Lokasenna (Loki's Quarrel)**

• **Stanza 19-20-21:** Gefjon speaks to Loki, Loki insults her and Odin defends Gefjon.

  Gefjun said:
  19. ‘Why must you two Æsir52 argue inside here
  with wounding words?
  Isn’t it well known that Loptr has a playful nature
  and that all the living54 love him?’
  
  Loki said:
  20. ‘Silence, Gefjun! Now I’ll speak of the one
  who lured you into lust,
  the white boy who gave you a pendant,
  and [whom] you put your thigh over!’
  
  Óðinn said:
  21. ‘You’re mad, Loki, and out of your mind,
  when you rouse Gefjun to anger against you,
  because I think she knows all the world’s fate
  just as well as I!’
