From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Syn is an Ásynja, or goddess, who according to Gylfaginning "guards the doors of the hall and shuts them against those who are not to enter". She is also invoked by defendants in trials and assemblies. In Skáldskaparmál her name is used in a kenning for "woman".
