Who is the European/Christian Trickster?
If you're Native North American, s/he's Coyote. In Africa, one of Trickster's names is Anansi the spider.
Is there a European Trickster other than Loki? Prometheus tricked the gods, but that's a bit different and was a one-time deal.
And yes, I know that European doesn't equal Christian, in either direction, but I don't have a better shorthand for our dominant culture. Euro-American?
