IDUN
Also known as IDUNN, IDUNA

A picture showing the legend of IDUN taken from our Norse mythology archives. Illustration by Chas Saunders. Read the story below or search the index for more Norse Gods, Norse Goddesses, heroes, demons and monsters!

Golden Apple Goddess of Spring and Eternal Youth

Also known as Mrs BRAGI. She's always fending off muggers as she carries the basket containing the Golden Apples of Immortality. When the Gods are feeling a bit past it, one nibble is all it takes to put a spring in their step.

Her abduction by THIASSI the Storm Giant led to all the Gods growing incredibly old until she was rescued by a wrinkly LOKI in the guise of a falcon.

We are often asked about merchandise. Can we supply the latest Idun graphic novel, book or comic? Not to mention role-playing games (RPG), video games, Idun movies on DVD, BluRay and so on. To purchase such goodies we suggest you search for a dedicated mythology-based online store - or try Amazon, Ebay or other reputable websites. We offer a wide range of our own merchandise in our online GodShop, but we don't currently sell third party items. Yet!

Visitors often email us asking about Idun statues, sculptures or carved figurines of Idun. We regret we cannot assist with identifying such items.
