	Hyndluljóð - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hyndluljóð or Lay of Hyndla is an Old Norse poem often considered a part of the Poetic Edda.
		Freyja rides on her boar Hildisvíni and Hyndla on a wolf.
		Their mission is to find out the pedigree of Óttarr so that he can touch his inheritance, and the lay consists mostly of Hyndla reciting a number of names from Óttarr's ancestry.

	Stories in Norse Mythology
		Hyndla brought the cup and then bid Freya be on her way, but not before accusing her of pretending to be faithful to Od while accepting other lovers.
		Hyndla then told Freya "in the beaker bear thou the beer to Ottar, with venom brewed: may it work thy bane!" Freya responded that her (Hyndla's) wicked wish would work no harm, and that Ottar would drink the goodly draught and may all gods then lend Ottar help.

	Edda - LoveToKnow Watches
		For Skirnis, or the Journey of Skirnir, Har bar5'slio$, or the Lay of Hoarbeard, Hymiskv15a, or the Song of Hymir, and Aegisdrekka, or the Brewing of Aegir, are poems, frequently composed as dialogue, containing legends of the gods, some of which are so ludicrous that it has been suggested that they were intentionally burlesque.
		In Hyndluljol', the Lay of Hyndla, the goddess Freyia rides to question the volva Hyndla with regard to the ancestry of her young paramour Ottar; a very fine quarrel ensues between the prophetess and her visitor.
		Helgakv16a, Hiorvar5s sonar, the Song of Helgi, the Son of Hiorvaro', which is largely in prose, celebrates the wooing by Helgi of Svava, who, like Atalanta, ends by loving the man with whom she has fought in battle.

	Freyja and the Lay of Hyndla
		The Lay of Hyndla is an often puzzling poem.
		Hyndla reveals that Ottar has been transformed into the boar Freyja is riding, accuses Freyja of promiscuity, and then finally settles into reciting Ottar’s ancestral lineage.
		At the close of the Lay of Hyndla, Hyndla attempts to curse Ottar, giving him a potion of remembrance so that he will recall what she has told him of his ancestry, and also saying “put this beer into Ottar’s hand, mixed with a great deal of poison and ill fortune.

		Fragment of a Sigurth Lay: Brot of Sigurtharkvithu
		Still, even here the suspicion lurks that the Prose is but the apology for stanzas, or whole lays, imperfectly remembered: there is such discrepancy between the clear and noble stanzas and the frequently muddled and inept prose as to preclude, it would seem, the thought of their being by the same author.
		Of the Heroic lays precisely those which also appear in other ways to be the oldest breathe the enterprising, warlike spirit of the Viking Age, with its stern fatalism; while the later ones as unmistakably betray the softening which one would expect from the Christian influences increasingly permeating the later times.

		Freya searched all over the earth for him, and when she found him, he had degenerated into a sea monster.

	The Position of the Woman in the Poetic Edda
		In "Hyndla's Lay" Freyja is active as the protector of a young man, Oottarr, taking him with her to the Sabbath ride as a boar (in Prose Edda, "Gylfaginning", XXXVII, she rides cats).
		In "Sigvördr Faafnirbane's Lay" II, 10-11, Giantess Lyngheidr will not let her brother kill the other brother; she is the only one in the Poetic Edda who does not want to take revenge on the death ot her relative (ibid.).
		The motif of castration is also added in the same lay, as Gudmundr declares that Sinfjötli was not able to have an intercourse with him as the one who ha given birth to nine wolves, because he has been gelded by the daughters of thursar in Thoorsnes (ibid., 39).

		He should be a man of accomplishments, of unblemished body, presumably of royal kin (peasant-birth is considered a bar to the kingship), usually a son or a nephew, or brother of his foregoer (though no strict rule of succession seems to appear in Saxo), and duly chosen and acknowledged at the proper place of election.
		They sometimes meet heroes, as they met Helgi in the Eddic Lay (Helgi and Sigrun Lay), and help or begift them; they prepare the magic broth for Balder, are charmed with Hother's lute-playing, and bestow on him a belt of victory and a girdle of splendour, and prophesy things to come.

		In the lay of Hyndla, Ottar is a human being in the shape of a boar.
		But they do not appear in the old narrative lays where the heroes are depicted as acting out their fate.
		Weber (1958b:99) suggests that the migrations of the Teutonic peoples, their enlistment in foreign legions, and their adventurous expeditions under self-elected heads, must have formed barriers to the intensification of totemic ties and the "magical bonds of the extended family." He further suggests that Christianity helped to dissolve the clan associations.

		Owing to its sadly confused state and faulty preservation---in the huge manuscript codex called the Flait island Book (Flateyjarbók), written in Iceland toward the end of the fourteenth century---this poem has given rise to the most varying of interpretations.
