Beyla - Definition and Overview

In Norse mythology, Beyla was a female elf and the wife of Byggvir and like her husband one of Freyr's servant. As an elf she was a minor goddess, and was associated with the sorting of corn, and perhaps also with dairy, mead and ale. The name "Beyla" may be related to the words for "cow" or "bee."

In a quarrel between her husband Byggvir and Loki, Loki calls her dirty thrall.
