The goddess of youth, spring and rejuvenation, Iðunn distributed fruit - usually taking the form of golden apples - to the other gods that prolonged their longevity.
Iðunn was once lured out of Asgard by Loki - after he promised her apples even fairer than those she already tended - where she was abducted by a great eagle. During her absence, the other gods begin to grow old, eventually leading Loki to relent from his mischief.
Transforming Iðunn into a nut, Loki assumed the form of a falcon and carried the precious goddess back to Asgard, eluding the pursuing eagle.
