TEUTONIC MYTH - HEL. Hel, or Hela, the goddess of the dead in Teutonic mythology. She is here portrayed seated outside Helheim, in the traditional guise of a Sibyl. Perhaps her hellish wolf-dog is barking at Odin, as he approaches Hel to consult about the death of Balder? Nineteenth century hand-coloured wood-engraving, after the painting by Johannes Gehrts.
