In Norse mythology, Bragi is the god of poetry and eloquence. He was the son of Odin and the giantess Gunnlod, and was married to the goddess Iduna who dwelt in the underworld. After Odin learned the mysteries of writing, he taught them to Bragi by cutting runes on his tongue. Bragi was told to let them out like butterflies at banquets of the gods and in Valhalla in the form of poetry. Bragi was depicted as an old man with a long white beard. Loki called him Braggy and Windymouth.
