Angrboda
Angrboda ou Angrboða (« celle qui apporte le chagrin ») est une géant de la mythologie nordique. Selon la Völuspá hin skamma[1], c'est avec Angrboda que Loki engendra le loup Fenrir. L’Edda de Snorri Sturluson[2] ajoute qu'il s'agit d'une géante de Jötunheim et qu'elle est aussi la mère de Jörmungand, le serpent de Midgard, et de Hel, qui règne sur le monde des morts. Son nom n'apparaît que dans ces deux sources, et il s'agit sans doute d'une invention du XIIe siècle[3].
Angrboda est peut-être être identique à « la vieille » (« in aldna ») vivant à Járnvid qui élève la descendance de Fenrir[4]. L'un de ces loups dévorera la lune[5].
