EDITORS COMMENTS
In the intricate web of Norse mythology, Hodur, also known as Hod or Hoder, holds a significant place as the enigmatic brother of the beloved god Baldur. This evocative image, taken from The Olafur Brynjulfsson Edda, a 18th-century manuscript, offers a glimpse into the captivating tale of these two deities. Hodur is often depicted as the blind god, a stark contrast to his radiant brother Baldur, who was revered for his beauty, strength, and invulnerability. According to the myth, Loki, the cunning trickster, manipulated Hodur into believing that he was shooting an arrow at Baldur's enemy, rather than the god himself. Guided by Loki, Hodur released the mistletoe missile, which pierced Baldur's invulnerable body, ultimately leading to his tragic demise. The image of Hodur in this print captures the essence of the deity's enigmatic nature. With his blind eyes covered, he appears pensive, his expression a mix of contemplation and determination. The bow and arrow in his hands, a testament to his role in the tragic tale, add to the intrigue. The intricate details of the manuscript, from the flowing lines of the text to the delicate illustrations, transport us back to the rich tapestry of Norse mythology. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the complex relationships and the intricate web of fate that defined the lives of the gods in Norse mythology. The tale of Hodur and Baldur, guided by the machinations of Loki, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of Norse mythology.
