 Two of the figures are understood to be Baldr and Odin while both Loki and Hel have been proposed as candidates for the third figure.If it is Hel she is presumably greeting the dying Baldr as he comes to her realm.The "Old English Gospel of Nicodemus", preserved in two manuscripts from the 11th century, contains a female figure referred to as "Seo hell" who engages in flyting with Satan and tells him to leave her dwelling (Old English "ut of mynre onwununge").
