Historical Background

Skadi was a giantess in Norse mythology. She is the embodiment of winter. When her father, the giant Thiazi, was slain by the Æsir (Norse gods), Skadi planned to take revenge. A testament to her power, the Æsir chose to placate her and not fight her, offering her a marriage to any god. Her name is actually Skaði.

One of the moons of Saturn is named Skathi, a variant spelling of Skadi. It was discovered on September 23rd, 2000 and has a 6.4km diameter.
