Býleistr

Býleistr

Býleistr ('bee-lightning' sometimes anglicized Byleist) [Various forms are used in the manuscripts of the "Prose Edda": Býleistr ("Codices" "Regius" and "Wormianus"), Blýleistr ("Codex Trajectinus") and Býleiptr ("Codex Upsaliensis").] is the brother of Loki in Norse Mythology.

Nothing is known about him, apart from this kinship. Snorri Sturluson states in his "Gylfaginning" (34) that " [Loki] 's brothers are Býleistr and Helblindi", and several Eddic texts use the Loki-"kenning" "brother of Býleistr" ("bróðir Býleists") ("Völuspá", 51; "Hyndluljóð", 40; "Skáldskaparmál", 16).
