2. Loki
as a trickster
When
talking about Loki, the name trickster comes
up several times. What does it mean exactly? True to his very entity, there is
no uniform definition despite the fact, that you can find the figure of
a trickster in almost every culture and religion (or at least figures
which share several of its characteristics). According to some scholars
a trickster is an archetypal figure, who is a primary stage of
a type later developed into a culture hero.
