	Fjolsvinnsmal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fjolsvinnsmal or The Lay of Fjolsvinn is the second of two Old Norse poems which comprise the Svipdagsmál, The Lay of Svipdag.
		In the first poem, Svipdag enlists the aid of his dead mother, Groa, a witch, to assist him in the completion of a task set by his cruel stepmother.
		At the commencement of Fjolsvinnsmal, Svipdag has arrived at a castle on a mountain top.

	SHAKSPER 1991: Textual Challenge
		The Challenge: Prove Housman Wrong The Old Norse narrative sequence "Svipdagsmal", comprising two poems "Grougaldr" and "Fjolsvinnsmal" together about 1500 words long, survives in 47 manuscripts known to me. These manuscripts were written in Iceland, Denmark and Sweden between 1650 and 1830.
		The Data I have computer files of every agreement and disagreement on every reading of 44 of the 47 manuscripts (the other three are not important), generated direct from my computer collation of these manuscripts in my doctoral work (see my articles in Literary and Linguistic Computing 4 (1989) 99-105, 174-81).
		This data is available in two ASCII files, one containing all the data for "Grougaldr", the other for "Fjolsvinnsmal".

	Northvegr - Loki: Friend of Othinn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Another very interesting point in connection with this sword is a sword called Levaitien (Mistletein) that is said in Fjolsvinnsmal to have been constructed by Loki with the use of runes.
		It was said to be held in a chest in Hel that was bound with nine locks.
		Hothr, in Saxo's version must fare to hel to obtain the only sword that will be able to slay Baldr and in Saxo's text the sword is said to be “fastened up in the closest bonds.” This sounds very much like the sword that, in Fjolsvinnsmal, was said to be made by Loki.

		Two greyhounds accompany Culhwch, when he sets out in all his splendour to visit his cousin Arthur, in 'Culhwch and Olwen.'
		Hellhounds almost abound in the northern myths - such dogs are mentioned in Baldrs Draumar, Voluspa, Gylfaginning, Grimnismal, Skirnismal and Fjolsvinnsmal.
		Black Angus is a large fl dog with yellow eyes and sharp fangs who roams the northern English and Scottish countryside showing himself to those who will die within a fortnight.
