Bragi

Bragi is the god of poetry and eloquence, husband of Idunn who keeps the apples of youth. Wise in words and unmatched in skaldcraft, he is said to have runes carved on his tongue. He often greets newcomers to Valhalla, welcoming slain heroes to Odin's hall. In the Lokasenna, when Loki forces his way into Aegir's feast, it is Bragi who first rises to bar him, offering him a horse, sword, and ring to keep the peace, only to be mocked by Loki as a coward and a bench-ornament. The first cup drunk at a feast in pledge of solemn vows bore his name, the bragarful.
