Once Loki had spawned the Midgard Serpent, why kick him out? (Of course, there's no point in trying to make friends with the kids. Tyr proved that with Fenris.) May I respectfully suggest that after his daughter had been given a place of her own, it should have been strongly suggested that she take her two brothers down there with her. Letting Fenris run around in the sky and Jormengandir swim around in the ocean is neither pro-ecology nor evidence of a strong defense posture. whereas Hel seems to have not only stayed in her own realm but quite adequate at keeping other people there. Given that at the Time, Heimdall and Loki wound up fighting one another, the previous correspondent must be considered to be somewhat biased. Of course, one doesn't expect much consistency from the son of nine mothers. --Lee Gold
