Loki with a fishing net (per Reginsmál) as depicted on an 18th-century Icelandic manuscript (SÁM 66). Loki is a god in Norse mythology.He is the son of Fárbauti (a jötunn) and Laufey (a goddess), and the brother of Helblindi and Býleistr.
In both Gylfaginning (34) and Skáldskaparmál, Snorri Sturluson explicitly states that Byleist is, along with Helblindi, one of Loki's two brothers. [ 1 ] Based on this relation, a number of scholars have considered Býleistr to be a son of Fárbauti and his consort Laufey . [ 3 ]

"The third gift—an enormous hammer" (1902) by Elmer Boyd Smith.. In Norse mythology, the Sons of Ivaldi (Norse: Ívaldasynir) are a group of dwarfs who fashion Skíðblaðnir, the flying ship of Freyr, Gungnir, the spear belonging to Odin, as well as the golden hair for Sif to replace the hair that Loki had cut off.
As to Höðr, outside of the single statement in the kennings, Snorri makes no mention that Höðr is Baldr's brother or Odin's son, though one might expect that to be emphasized. In Saxo's version of the death of Baldr, Höðr, whom Saxo calls Høtherus, is a mortal and in no way related to Saxo's demi-god Balderus.
