| | Hurstwic Norse Mythology: Freyr |
 | | Freyr spied Gerð, the daughter of a giant, and was consumed with desire to wed Gerð. |
 | | Freyr, sick with love, asked his servant Skírnir to go to the hall of the giant Gymir, father of Gerð, to ask for Gerð's hand. |
 | | Knowing that the journey was likely to be dangerous, Skírnir took Freyr's horse, his sword, and gifts including golden apples of youth, a golden arm-ring, and Freyr's portrait captured in a drinking horn. |
