Attestations

Although there is no action involving Býleistr in the original sources, Loki is frequently called by the kenning 'Byleist's brother' (bróðir Býleists), such as in Völuspá (51), Hyndluljóð (40), or Skáldskaparmál (16).Шаблон:Sfn

In both Gylfaginning (34) and Skáldskaparmál, Snorri Sturluson explicitly states that Byleist is, along with Helblindi, one of Loki's two brothers.Шаблон:Sfn

Based on this relation, a number of scholars have considered Býleistr to be a son of Fárbauti and his consort Laufey.[1] However, his exact role in the ancient mythic complex surrounding Loki's family remains unclear.[2]
