"Gods and goddesses are faced with privileged desires and power and the maleficent consequences of yours greatness projects. But the agony is not felt only by Freia. All the gods, Wotan, Fricka, Dooner (god of thunder) and Froh (Spring god), the later two Freia's brothers, they depend of the golden apples grown by her, without which they all will grow old and die. Thus the battle is for eternal beauty; Freia is the key of the gods' divinity. Human, all too human, Nietzsche would say." (Pondé)
