caption: BALDUR Viking deity, second son of Wotan and his wife Frigg; bestower of good, his beauty illuminates him and his home is of ample splendor. Although he is loved by all, his fate is to die murdered, ending up in the kingdom of Hel from which he will return after Ragnarök (end of the world) to fight alongside the gods. Its myth suggests a link with the sun, with which it is depicted here rising from the sea. Chromolithograph by Petzold & Aulhorn A.-G., series IX, figure 3. Dresden, 19th century.
