Summary
| Description |
English: "Each arrow overshot his head" by Elmer Boyd Smith. Allowing his fellow gods to test his new found invincibility, the shining god Baldr is attacked by his fellow gods who make a game of it. In the background, the god Odin and his wife, the goddess Frigg, sit enthroned. In the foreground, the disguised Loki gives Baldr's blind brother Höðr an arrow affixed with mistletoe (the one thing that can harm Baldr), which results in Baldr's death. |
