In Norse mythology, Eldir was a servant of the giant Ægir. At the beginning of Lokasenna (Loki's verbal slandering of the gods), Loki had killed another servant, Fimafeng, and was driven from Ægir's hall into the forest by the gods who were assembled at the feasting table. Upon his return Loki confronted Eldir outside and exchanged hostile words with the servant before again entering the hall to "mix their mead with venom".
