  Heithni.org - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Fjalar's identity with Utgard-Loki is proved by Hárbarðsljóð 26, where Thor, on his way to Fjalar, meets with the same adventures as, according to the Younger Edda, he met with on his way to Utgard-Loke.
(c) Fjalar is the son of the chief of the fire-giants, Surtr, and dwells in the subterranean dales of the latter.
When, therefore, Völuspá makes Fjalar on his visit to the sword-guardian in the Ironwood appear in the guise of the red cock, then this is in harmony with Fjalar's nature as a fire-giant and as a son of Surt.

 Naming conventions of Iceland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Fjalar's last name will not be Stefánsson like his father's, it will become Fjalar Jónsson, mentioning literally that Fjalar is the son of Jón.
Fjalar, the son of Bryndís, will have the full name of Fjalar Bryndísarson (literally meaning "the son of Bryndís").
As a result, in a four-person family there might be four different last names: the married couple Jón (Stefánsson) and Bryndís (Atladóttir), and their children Fjalar (Jónsson) and Kata (Jónsdóttir).

Hávamál does not state that the part played by Odin required him to be continually drinking; but we shall show that Gunnlod's wooer was the champion drinker of all mythology, and in the sagas he has many epithets referring to this quality.
The fire-giant natures of Surt and of his son Fjalar gleam forth in the narrative: the ruler of Utgard can produce earthquakes, and Logi (the flame) is his servant.
It is also doubtlessly correct, from a mythical standpoint, that he is represented as exceedingly skilful in "deluding," in giving things the appearance of something else than they really are (see No. 39).

He travelled widely through the world teaching people knowledge, and when he arrived as a guest to some dwarfs, Fjalar and Galar, they called him to a private discussion with them and killed him.

And when Fjalar saw the poet walking across the fields, a fl shadow came over his face like a thunder-cloud.
Now the gods were very fond of Kvaser, and when a long time had passed without any word from him, they asked Galar and Fjalar if they knew anything about him, and the dwarfs said he had been choked by his own wisdom; but Odin knew that this was a false story.
He kept his own counsel, and said nothing about what he was going to do, but one day the gods missed him, and knew he had gone on one of his long journeys.

 [No title]
The two strophes are tied together by their common theme of drunkenness, and have direct bearing on the mead-myth since strophe 14 states that Odin was drunk "at ins fróða Fjalars," at the cunning Fjalar's, which is described as "garði Gunnlaðar," Gunnlod's home, in the previous strophe.
As the Voluspa also incorporates the name Fjalar in the dwarf-list, it is possible that the names Suttung, Mjöðvitnir, and Fjalar, all refer to the same being, a possibility that becomes more probable as the investigation continues.
When we realize that Fjalar is a son of Surt, the actions of the red cock, a symbol of fire, become clear, for in strophe 51, Surt comes from the south armed with a sword which once belonged to a val-tivi, one of the gods.
