In Norse mythology, the Goddess Iðunn (or Idun) was known to be the keeper of the apples of immortality which were consumed by the gods, including Odin, and prized for their gifts of eternal youth, vitality and wisdom.

One myth tells the story of Idun, guardian of the golden apples of eternal youth, being deceived by Loki and captured by the giant Thjazi. Her absence causes the gods to age rapidly. Under threat from the aging gods, Loki rescues her, transforming Idun into a nut for their escape. Thjazi’s pursuit ends in his fiery demise at Asgard’s gates, orchestrated by the gods.

Idun’s return restores the gods’ youth, emphasizing her crucial role in maintaining the divine order and the delicate balance of power in the world of gods and giants.
