Your Field Guide to Spotting Bragi
(Middle school level)
As official poet of the Asgard, Bragi is a pretty busy fellow. He has a lot of notable deeds to commemorate, after all. He's also Odin's official "greeter," so you might find him in Valhalla, welcoming the souls of fallen Vikings with poems of praise. You'll recognize him because he'll probably be carrying a harp so he can accompany his poems with music. And, oh yeah—did we mention he has mysterious magical pictograms called runes carved on his tongue? That's right. Say ah, Bragi!
