Topic: Hringhorni

	Hringhorni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Norse mythology, Hringhorni is the name of the ship of Baldr, described as the "greatest of all ships".
		The significance of this seemingly incidental event is speculative but may perhaps find a parallel in religious ritual.
		Among other artifacts and creatures sacrificed on the pyre of Hringhorni were Odin's golden arm ring Draupnir and the horse of Baldr with all its trappings.

	Notes On Giant Ships.
		His ship Hringhorni is the disk of the sun, whose sails will not be furled till Ragnarok, and we know that the sun was not only figured as a ship but as a wheel among many Aryan peoples.
		She is the disk of the sun, the vessel of Balder the sun-god, and his death voyage is the sunset when the hull of Hringhorni sinks into the mysterious western ocean.
		Hringhorni and the ship of Gargantua are giant ships for giant captains and both are allegorical, the one of the sun, the other of the vast resources of princes.
