Fimafeng is one of the servants ofÆgir inNorse mythology. In theLokasenna, Fimafeng is killed out of jealousy byLoki at a party held by his master, after hearing him being lauded by the people for the banquet he had prepared to theÆsir (gods).[1]
TheOld Norse nameFimafeng has been translated as 'hurrying service' as well as 'five fingered'[1]
In the beginning ofLokasenna (Loki's Flyting),Aegir's servants Fimafeng andEldir are praised by the people for their good job at welcoming guests to a feast prepared to theÆsir (gods) and hosted by their master. The áss (god) Loki, jealous of the praise being heaped upon them, suddenly kills Fimafeng, causing the Aesir to expel him from the party. Loki eventually returns to the feast and offers an elaborate series of insults (flyting) to the Æsir and to the other servant, Eldir.[1]
