Freya

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani refers to Freya as the goddess of beauty, promised to the giants and then refused to them1. He returns to her several times in 2021, in the series "How can sciences of history be real?". There he presents her as the German Venus, promised as wages to the giants, and as the one who grows the golden apples of eternal youth2. He stresses the meaning of her name, which means "the free one" and shares its root with that word34. He links her light grace to this freedom: in his view, it comes from her being released from labour5. For him, the figure of Freya thus brings together beauty, freedom and the absence of labour, even though she serves as payment in a bargain with the giants. The 2015 and 2020 passages are limited to this promise made to the giants. The remarks on her name and on labour appear only in 2021.
