In Norse mythology, it is the trickster god Loki who brings fire and is tortured for eternity. Incidentally, Loki is also the mother (or, more properly, "dam") of Sleipnir. * Loki was the god of fire, not necessarily the one who gave it to humans. Also, he's tortured until Ragnarok because he killed Baldr, the favorite of the Aesir, because he thought it'd funny. Unless you want to analyze the symbolic significance of fire as a concept, the only similarities to Prometheus are they aren't actual gods, but a giant and a titan respectively, and they were both chained to rocks.--Necrotas 07:19, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
