Topic: Orvandil

	Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
		Orvandil has the Elivagar and the coasts of Jotunheim as the scene of his exploits during the time in which he is the friend of the gods and the opponent of the giants.
		Consequently Orvandil's abode was situated south of the Elivagar (Thor carried him norðan úr Jötunheimum), in the direction Thor had to travel when going to and from the land of the giants, and presumably quite near or on the strand of that mythic water-course over which Thor on this occasion carried him.
		Orvandil dwells near the Elivagar and Thor is his friend, and visits him on his way to and from Jotunheim.

	The Federation of Vinland Freeholds
		The general relationship between dialogue and narrative in the Eddic poems is discussed in the introductory note to the Grimnismol, in connection with the use of prose links.
		The love story of Svipdag and Mengloth is not referred to elsewhere in the Poetic Edda, nor does Snorri mention it; however, Groa, who here appears as Svipdag's mother, is spoken of by Snorri as a wise woman, the wife of Orvandil, who helps Thor with her magic charms.
		On the other hand, the essence of the story, the hero's winning of a bride ringed about by flames, is strongly suggestive of parts of the Sigurth-Brynhild traditions.
