Bragi

Bragi, in Norse mythology, is the god of poetry and eloquence. The verb 'to brag' is derived from from his name, and also, given that in the mythos poetry is considered to be an intoxicant of the gods, possibly also the verb 'to brew'.

In Lokasenna he was accused by Loki of avoiding battle; this may have to do with the fact that Bragi customarily is awaiting the slain in Valhalla in the wake of conflict.
