Raumar

Raumar is a character from Norse mythology. She is mentioned in the Poetic Edda, specifically in the poem Lokasenna. In this poem, Raumar is depicted as a giantess who is present at a feast hosted by the sea god Ægir. Loki, the trickster god, uses the gathering to insult and belittle the other gods and goddesses in attendance.

During the feast, Loki directs many insults towards the assembled deities. Raumar is one of the individuals who faces Loki's verbal abuse. The exact nature of the insults directed at Raumar is not fully detailed, but the context suggests a general pattern of Loki's vitriol. She appears in the poem as part of the crowd of giants and gods gathered, rather than as a central figure.

The role of Raumar in Lokasenna is limited, and she does not play a significant part in the narrative beyond being a recipient of Loki's taunts. Her appearance serves to populate the scene and provide more targets for Loki's mischief. Information about Raumar outside of this specific poem is scarce, making her a relatively minor figure in the broader scope of Norse mythology. Her name itself does not carry extensive etymological or symbolic interpretations readily available in mythological texts.
