Which goddess is described as the wife of Odin and the matron of the household in Norse myth?

Frigg Freya The Valkyrie Baldr

Correct Answer:

Frigg

Explanation:

Frigg is the goddess described as Odin’s wife and the matron of the household. In Norse myth she’s seen as the queen of the Aesir and the goddess of marriage and the home, often invoked in matters of family and domestic life. This sets her apart from Freya, who is tied to love, beauty, and fertility (with other roles in myth), from the Valkyries, who are warrior-redeeming figures that select the slain, and from Baldr, who is Odin’s son and a male god of light. So Frigg fits the description most closely.
