Sif is a goddess in Norse mythology. She is the wife of Thor and
mother of Thrud
and Ull.
Sif has hair
made of gold.
It grows just like normal hair. Her original hair's
color looked like wheat. Loki cut off Sif's hair as a prank. When Thor found
out he made Loki have golden hair made for her by the Dwarves.
It is believed that Sif was a goddess of the home, of
field
and of the crop.
It is also said that she had some control of destiny.
Thrud
is the only daughter of Thor and Sif. Ull is her
son with another man. Thor also has two sons with a giantess. In two
different poems in Poetic Edda, Sif is said to have a mysterious lover,
but no one knows who he is.
A volcano
on the planet
Venus is named after Sif.
Sif is also a character in the comic
book The Mighty
Thor from Marvel Comics.
