In Norse Mythology, Baldr was killed by Loki with a magical spear made from what plant?
Quiz Options
- Mistletoe
- Wolf's Bane
- Hemlock
- Buckthorn
Explanation
Mistletoe was the only living thing that did not swear an oath to refrain from harming Baldr, as his mother Frigg deemed it too young and small to be a threat. Loki exploited this oversight by fashioning a projectile from the plant and tricking the blind god Höðr into throwing it at his brother.
