Loki, in Norse mythology, is a cunning trickster who had the ability to change his shape and sex. Although his father is the giant Fárbauti, he is included among the Aesir (a tribe of gods). Loki is represented as the companion of the great gods Odin and Thor, helping them with his clever plans but sometimes causing embarrassment and difficulty for them and himself.
He also appeared as the enemy of the gods, entering their banquet uninvited and demanding their drink. He was depicted as a fly, a mare, and possibly an elderly woman. Most notably, he caused the death of the god Baldr.
Loki was bound to a rock (by the entrails of one or more of his sons, according to some sources) as punishment, thus in many ways resembling the Greek figures Prometheus and Tantalus. Also like Prometheus, Loki is considered a god of fire.
Loki's relations with the gods end with his role in engineering the death of the beautiful and generally beloved god Baldr. After orchestrating Baldr's death, Loki was chased by the gods and bound to a rock with the entrails of one of his sons. A venomous serpent was placed above his face. The dripping venom that Loki's faithful wife Sigyn collected in a bowl, but when the bowl became full, she left to pour out the venom. Then the snake's venom dripped onto Loki's face, making him writhe in pain, which caused earthquakes.
According to the Prose Edda, Loki will break free from his chains during Ragnarök, the end of the world as prophesied in Norse mythology. He will then join forces with the giants and wage war against the gods. This is a battle in which he and the other major figures of Norse mythology will ultimately perish.
