Which idea could best follow sentence two (2) below: (1) In Norse mythology, Loki has a unique place. (2) His father a giant, Loki was not an Aesir, nor did he embody the traditional Norse values of honor and loyalty. (3) Due to these characteristics, it is not surprising there are no traces of any kind of worship of Loki in the historical record.

In fact, Loki is often portrayed as a scheming coward who only cares for pleasures and self-preservation.

Moreover, Thor, one of the most prominent figures in Norse mythology, is a figure of honor and is fiercely loyal to Asgard.

On the other hand, Loki’s name has been a subject of research for scholars, with one scholar theorizing his name means “knot” or “tangle.”

Loki’s father is the giant Farbauti. His mother, Laufey could be a goddess, a giantess, or something else entirely – the surviving historical sources are silent on this point.
