Thor, The Avengers movie Loki being dealt the punishment described in norse mythology.

I tried to be as accurate as I could.


"They brought him to a cavern and they bound him with his sons inards to three sharp-pointed rocks. There they would have left him bound and helpless. But Skathi, who was of the fierce Giant brood, was not content that he should be left untormented. She found a serpent that had a deadly venom; she hung the serpent above Loki's head. The drops of venom fell upon him, bringing him anguish drop by drop, minute by minute. So Loki's torture went on.

Sigyn with the pitying heart came to his relief. She exiled herself from Asgarth; she endured the darkness and the cold of the cavern that she might take away some of the torment from him who was her husband. Over Loki Sigyn stood, holding in her hands a shell into which fell the serpent's venom, thus sparing him from the full measure of anguish. But now and then Sigyn had to turn aside to spill out the flowing cup; then the drops of venom fell upon Loki, and he screamed in agony, twisting in his bonds. And in his bonds Loki stayed until Ragna rök came with the battle in which all things ended." - Scared-texts.com

You seriously made me cry... I'm not kidding. This is beautiful and terrible at the same time... I know nothing about the mythology, just a few bits and pieces, but I had heard about this before...but not like that...how is it possible to be that cruel to anyone? Now, I have to know, does it ever stop? And such a dedicated wife. He can love and be loved can't he?
The drawing is beautiful, it really is. It just captures everything so well. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Oh wow thank you so much! I am flattered and amazed that something I drew could elicit such emotion!
I agree that his punishment is a terrible thing to read about; how anyone could do such a a torturous thing to someone evil, or otherwise.
It is said when Loki gets free Ragnarok will occur which is "the end of the world."
I would like to think that he is very capable of love and of being loved but is just misunderstood.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. :heart:

That's a long time... Thor, get over there and save your brother now! ;) Didn't they say his cries and writhes in pain when she had to empty the bowl caused the earthquakes? (maybe she should consider getting a bigger bowl...somehow...). Wonderful, dear, wonderful. :)
