Norse mythology from A to Z:
[B] - Baldr was favorite son of Óðinn and Frigg, Hermóðr brother, Nanna’s husband, Forseti’s father. The myth of the death of Baldr is a kind of introduction to the Scandinavian eschatological cycle - his death serves as foreboding of the destruction of the gods and the whole world (Ragnarok).
It is impossible to completely exclude the connection of the myth of Baldr with the cults of fertility and ancient oriental myths, and even more so Christian influences. At its core, the myth of Baldr is most likely a myth of the first death, complicated by the motives of military initiations (the names are characteristic: Baldr - lord, Höðr - fighter, Hermóðr - courageous). It is possible that Höðr is “the murderer by the hand” (handbani); Baldr - the hypostasis of Odin himself; in a certain sense, Loki - his “assassin advice” (ráðbani) is also Odin’s “counterpart”.
A very significant difference between the story of Baldr and other subjects of Scandinavian mythology, which received a narrative development, is that it depicts not a struggle with external forces, but a dramatic collision within the aces community. This is connected with the cult roots of the legend about Baldr, and with the fact that it was included in the tradition of the Scandinavian mythological epic at a later stage than other plots.
