In Norse mythology, queen of the gods; wife of Odin. Her sons were
Balder, the beloved god; Bragi, god of poetry and wisdom; and
Thor, god of thunder. She was one of the Aesir, the principal warrior gods who lived in Asgard. Friday was named after her.
Although initially separate deities, Frigga was assimilated in mythology with
Freya, a Vanir (fertility goddess), who arrived in Asgard after a war between the gods.
