Note 5 — The Ballad of Vafthruthnir

Henry Adams Bellows translation

This single narrative stanza is presumably a later interpolation. Im: the name appears to be corrupt, but we know nothing of any son of Vafthruthnir. Ygg (“the Terrible”): Othin.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
