	Gunnlod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Norse mythology, Gunnlod was a daughter of Suttung, who was set guard by her father in the cavern where he housed the mead of poetry.
		She was seduced by Odin, who according to Snorri bargained with her to exchange three nights of sex for three sips of the mead and then tricked her, stealing all of it.
		It would seem, from this version of the tale, that Gunnlod helped Odin willingly, and that he thought well of her in return.

	Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
		It is also necessary to be eloquent and winning, so that he may charm Gunnlod and secure her devotion, for without her knowledge he cannot gain his end, that of carrying away the supply of inspiration-mead kept at Suttung's.
		A catastrophe occurs causing Gunnlod to bewail the death of a kinsman.
		In order that Odin and Gunnlod may be able to discuss and resolve in perfect secrecy in regard to the mead, Odin must come secretly down into the mountain, hence the satire makes him use the bored hole to get in.

		Gunnlod sat me in the golden seat, Poured me precious mead: Ill reward she had from me for that, For her proud and passionate heart, Her brooding foreboding spirit.
		What I won from her I have well used: I have waxed in wisdom since I came back, bringing to Asgard Odhroerir, the sacred draught.
		Hardly would I have come home alive From the garth of the grim troll, Had Gunnlod not helped me, the good woman, Who wrapped her arms around me.

	Kvasir
		Suttung boasted of his treasure, and when the god Odin learned of it he went to Jotunheim to obtain the mead.
		Reluctantly, Baugi drilled a small hole through the side of the mountain and into the chamber where the mead was kept.
		Resuming the form of a giant man, he persuaded Gunnlod to give him three sips of the mead.

	Northvegr - The Culture of the Teutons
		Gunnlod placed me in a golden chair and gave me a drink of the precious mead; she was niggardly rewarded for her true spirit and her great love.
		I had hardly escaped from the seat of the giants even now, if Gunnlod had not given me her assistance, the noble maiden who rested in my arms.
		The day after, the frost giants strode into the hall of Hár and asked for Bolverk, whether he dwelt among the gods or had been slaughtered by Suttung.

	Suttung
		Suttung took it and hid it in the center of a mountain, with his daughter, Gunnlod, standing guard.
		He worked for Baugi, Suttung's brother, a farmer, for an entire summer, then asked for a small sip of the mead.
		Inside, Gunnlod was guarding but he persuaded her to give him three sips; Odin proceeded to drink all the mead, change into an eagle and escape.

		Then Odin told Gunnlod, who was guarding the beer, that he was willing to spend a night with her if she would pay him with one sip from the beer barrels.
		He offered her again to spend a night with her and the next morning he drank all the beer from another barrel.
		He left Gunnlod crying in the cave, alone and hurt.

		But Odin drank so much that, in arguing with the cunning son of Swart, Feal/Outyard-Loke, he became careless in his speech, and the giants began to understand that he was not really Swigger but their enemy, Odin.
		When evening came, Gunnlod and Odin went to their bedroom, but in the middle of the night the giants burst in and attacked him.
		In the fight, Odin killed Swart's son, Gunnlod's brother, and used a magic drill to bore his way through the rock mountain and out of the hands of the giants.

		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.
		In Ynglingatal 15, the first half of the strophe tells us that the events of the myth took place inside the hall of "Durnir's descendants," while the second half tells us that the hall is inhabited by "Sökkmimir's kinsmen." The kinsmen of Sökkmimir dwell in the hall of Durnir's descendants.
		Thus we can imagine a struggle ensuing during the night, after Odin and Gunnlod had retired to their bedchamber, in which Odin slays Gunnlod's kinsman, Miðvitnir's son.

		But the Havamal of the Poetic Edda tells the story a bit differently: Gunnlod sat me in the golden seat, Poured me precious mead: Ill reward she had from me for that, For her proud and passionate heart, Her brooding foreboding spirit.
		Hardly would I have come home alive From the garth of the grim troll, Had Gunnlod not helped me, the good woman, Who wrapped her arms around me. It would seem, from this version of the tale, that Gunnlod helped Odin willingly, and that he thought well of her in return.
		But it was a typical Southern politician, with slouch hat, long frock.

		Thus, what Havamal 104 calls "Suttung's Halls" is here called "Fjalar's." In a literature known for its polynomy, we can safely assume that, Fjalar is an epithet of Suttung, an assumption that is confirmed by sources I shall consider as the investigation progresses.

		Odin seduces and abandons Gunnlod to win the mead of poetry and boasts about it later.
		As for the seduction of Gunnlod, we must keep in mind that Bolverk did try to get hold of the mead of poetry by other means first, which included doing the work of nine men over the summer for Gunnlod's uncle.
		In Skaldskaparmal, Snorri tells us that: "Bolverk went to where Gunnlod was and lay with her for three nights and then she let him drink three draughts of the mead." There's no mention of any reluctance to cooperate on Gunnlod's part.
