Norse Mythology[ | ]
Rán (Old Norse: [ˈrɒːn]) is, in Norse mythology, the wife of the jǫtunn Ægir and mother of nine daughters (who are the probable mothers of Heimdallr). She is a goddess of the sea, living with her husband in an underwater hall. She captures sailors and drowns them in her net, which she gives temporarily to Loki, so he can capture Andvari the dwarf.
Because Rán is a personification of the sea, skalds employ her name in a variety of kennings to refer to the sea. Examples include Ránar-land ('Ran's land'), -salr ('Rán's hall'), and -vegr ('Rán's way'), and rán-beðr ('the bed of Rán') and meaning 'the bed of the sea'.
