Best Answer

Baldur, is killed by his younger blind brother, Hodur, who was tricked by Loki (who was insanely jealous of Baldur and his popularity), to throw a sharpened mistletoe bough which pierced Baldur's heart. Being blind, the younger brother did not know that the stick was sharp and where he was throwing it. So this act of Loki enraged Odin, who was Baldur's father. Odin had Loki chained in a dark cave over some slabs of rock and a serpent hung over him so it would drip venom into his face, until the end of the world

How did baldr greek god of light die?

1: Baldr is not a Greek God.2: Baldr is a Norse God.3: His death is seen as the first in the chain of events which will ultimately lead to the destruction of the gods at Ragnarök. Baldr will be reborn in the new world, according to Völuspá.He had a dream of his own death and his mother had the same dreams. Since dreams were usually prophetic, this depressed him, so his mother Frigg made every object on earth vow never to hurt Baldr. All objects made this vow except mistletoe. Frigg had thought it too unimportant and nonthreatening to bother asking it to make the vow (alternatively, it seemed too young to swear).When Loki, the mischief-maker, heard of this, he made a magical spear from this plant (in some later versions, an arrow). He hurried to the place where the gods were indulging in their new pastime of hurling objects at Baldr, which would bounce off without harming him. Loki gave the spear to Baldr's brother, the blind god Höðr, who then inadvertently killed his brother with it (other versions suggest that Loki guided the arrow himself). For this act, Odin and the giantess Rindr gave birth to Váli who grew to adulthood within a day and slew Höðr.
