that she wore. And into the eyes of the Goddesses there came a
look of longing when they saw Brisingamen.
But Freya hardly stopped to speak to anyone. As swiftly
as she could she made her way to her own palace. She would
show herself to Odur and win his forgiveness. She entered her
shining palace and called to him. No answer came. Her child,
the little Hnossa, was on the floor, plajdng. Her mother took her
in her arms, but the child, when she looked on Brisingamen,
turned away crying.
Freya left Hnossa down and searched again for Odur. He
was not in any part of their palace. She went into the houses
of all who dwelt in Asgard, asking for tidings of him. None
knew where he had gone to. At last Freya went back to their
palace and waited and waited for Odur to return. But Odur
did not come.
One came to her. It was a Goddess, Odin's wife, the queenly
Frigga. "You are waiting for Odur, your husband," Frigga
said. "Ah, let me tell you Odur will not come to you here. He
went, when for the sake of a shining thing you did what would
make him unhappy. Odur has gone from Asgard aiid no one
knows where to search for him."
"I will seek him outside of Asgard," Freya said. She wept
no more, but she took the little child Hnossa and put her in
Frigga's arms. Then she mounted her car that was drawn by
two cats, and journeyed down from Asgard to Midgard, the
Earth, to search for Odur her husband.
