Iðunn's name is sometimes anglicized as Idun, Idunn,[5] or Iduna.[6] Some of her epithets include "Bride of Spring" and "Queen of Birth".[5]
Mythology
As goddess of youth, Iðunn was often associated with apples. She was the wife of Bragi and was said to grand eternal youth to the other gods.[6]
Biography
Idunn created the silver rings that encircled the Nine Realms, and her apples amplified the hugr on all creatures.[7]
In Asgard, Havi stumbled across a letter addressed to Iðunn on an altar adorned with apples, saying Tricksters would try to steal her Gift of Youth. Behind the altar, Havi found a small house overlooking a cliff where many apples lay alongside a letter to Loki, indicating that he indeed had stolen the apples.[8]
