 Kvasir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The giant Suttungr, enraged by Fjalar and Galarr's murder of his father Gillingr and his mother, took the dwarves out to sea, setting them on a reef which would be covered at high tide.
Suttungr brought the mead to his home and concealed it in a place called Hnitbjorg, asking his daughter Gunnlod to guard it.
Odin now gives the mead of Suttungr called the "Mead of Poetry" to the Aesir, to the Valkyries for reviving dead heroes upon their arrival in Valhalla, and to all who have the ability to compose.

 Prose (Snorra) Edda, part of Skáldskaparmál ,translated by Brodeur
They besought Suttungr to grant them respite of their lives, and as the price of reconciliation offered him the precious mead in satisfaction of his father's death.
Suttungr carried the mead home and concealed it in the place called Hnitbjörg, placing his daughter Gunnlöd there to watch over it.
Nevertheless he came so near to being caught by Suttungr that he sent some mead backwards, and no heed was taken of this: whosoever would might have that, and we call that the poetaster's part.

Gunnlod’s father, the chief giant Suttungr, perceived this immediately (for the giants are wise); he, too, took the shape of an eagle (for the giants are shapechangers) and flew after Odinn in pursuit.
He looked over his shoulder, and saw that Suttungr is getting close.
As a result, some of the precious mead spilled from of the wrong end of the eagle; thus eased, Odinn flew swiftly to Asgard.

Baugi is the giant that Odhinn, in an attempt to steal the mead of inspiration, works for in a disguise under the name, Bolverkr.
It is a promise that Baugi cannot fulfill because his brother refuses to give Odhinn a sip, forcing Odhinn to obtain the mead my other means.
Suttungr refuses Odhinn this drink and Odhinn therefore steals the mead by sleeping with Suttungr’s daughter and then carrying off the mead in the form of an eagle.

 Phoebe (moon)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
All of Saturn's moons up to Iapetus orbit very nearly in the plane of Saturn's equator.
The outer moons can be broken down into two groups: Siarnaq's group (Kiviuq, Ijiraq, Paaliaq, Albiorix, Erriapo, Siarnaq and Tarvos) is inclined 33.5-46.5° whilst Phoebe's group (Phoebe, Skathi, Narvi, Mundilfari, Suttungr, Thrymr and Ymir) is retrograde and inclined 134.5-175.5°.
Both groups are fairly to highly eccentric, and none of their moons are expected to rotate synchronously as all the inner moons of Saturn do (except for Hyperion).

Because of this we call poesy Kvasir's Blood or Dwarves' Drink, or Fill, or any kind of liquid of Ódrerir, or of Bodn, or of Són, or Ferry-Boat of Dwarves--since this mead brought them life--ransom from the reef--or Suttungr's Mead, or Liquor of Hnitbjörg."
In the first draught he drank every drop out of Ódrerir; and in the second, he emptied Bodn; and in the third, Són; and then he had all the mead.
Nevertheless he came so near to being caught by Suttungr that he sent some mead backwards, and no heed was taken of this: whosoever would might have that, and we call that the poetaster's part.[1] But Odin gave the mead of Suttungr to the Æsir and to those men who possess the ability to compose.
