_{MYTH MEME ↠ ten goddesses: HEL}

_{Hel is a giantess and goddess of the underworld, which is known as Niflheim, or Helheim, the Kingdom of the Dead. Hel is generally presented as being rather greedy and indifferent to the concerns of both the living and the dead. She is the daughter of Loki and Angrboda, she’s an ugly half-dead hag with gangrene legs and a hideous face. In return for giving her Niflheim, Odin gave Hel certain responsibilities that she had to carry out in that realm. He charged her with caring for the souls of people who had died from sickness or old age, and for the souls of any other people whose deaths had not occurred through violence or in battle.}
