Fimafeng
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fimafeng is a servant of Ægir in Norse mythology. His name means "quick service" or "handy service." In the Lokasenna, Loki kills Fimafeng during a feast for the Æsir being hosted by Ægir. This causes the Norse gods to expel Loki from the party. Loki returns to the party and offers an elaborate series of insults (flyting) of the gods.
