Norse Mythology

In Norse mythology, Nanna Nepsdóttir, or simply Nanna, is a goddess associated with Baldr. In the Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson, Nanna is Baldr’s wife, and the couple has a son, Forseti. After Baldr is killed, Nanna dies of grief. She is placed on Baldr’s funeral ship, which is set aflame and pushed out to sea.

When Hermóðr rides to Hel to seek Baldr’s return, Nanna gives him gifts to deliver to the living: a linen robe for Frigg, a finger-ring for Fulla, and other unspecified items. Hel agrees to release Baldr if all beings in the Nine Realms weep for him, but the giantess Thökk (believed to be Loki in disguise) refuses, so Baldr and Nanna remain in Hel until Ragnarök.

Nanna is mentioned in skaldic poetry and appears briefly in the Poetic Edda, though details about her there are limited.
