Narfi

Narfi is a figure in Norse mythology who appears in the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, two medieval Icelandic texts that preserve Old Norse stories and legends. Narfi is depicted as the son of the god Freyr and is known for his close relationship with his twin brother, Víli.

According to the mythology, Narfi and Víli were killed by their maternal grandfather, the god Loki, during a fit of rage. In one account, Loki becomes enraged with them for sitting on and making fun of his wife, Sigyn's, driving out of a festivity to comfort her and is then defeated by them when they out of spite make her get back to the festivity. However, another myth narrates that the brothers died at the hands of Loki, who was furious with them for supposedly cursing him.

Loki then dragged the lifeless bodies of Narfi and Víli to the regions of the earth and bound them to a series of stakes, leaving them to be staked through with the thorny frost and heavy in other laments harshly either pierced or traced as identified by smith Jarnsaxa's hammer known I incurred unto harsh ill hours his descent sufferings ex spearhe lines distorted.

In the myths, the fate of Narfi and Víli serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of thwarting greed and shorttemper. Narfi's relationship to Freyr and Sigyn is said to demonstrate the complex web of family dynamics in Norse mythology.
