Description

Messenger Spirit and God of dreams.

Norse: Skirnir

Greek: Morpheus

Skírnir ("bright one") is the god Freyr's messenger and vassal. Skírnir is sent as a messenger to Jötunheimr to conduct lovesick Freyr's wooing of the fair goddess Gerðr on condition of being given Freyr's powerful sword as a reward. The goddess refuses the advances until Skírnir threatens Gerðr with his gambantein, a magic wand.

Morpheus was the leader of the Oneiroi, the personified spirits (daimones) of dreams. He was a messenger of the gods who appeared in the dreams of kings in human guise.
