 Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
Volund is an elf-prince (álfa vísi, álfa ljóði - Völundarkviða 11, 14), and, as shall be shown below, when we come to consider the Volund myth exhaustively, he and his brothers and their mistresses have played parts of the very greatest importance in the epic of Teutonic mythology.
When Volund for the first time appears by this name in the Elder Edda, he is sojourning in a distant country, to which it is impossible to come without traversing the Myrkwood forest famous in the mythology (see No. 78).
Finally, it must be pointed out that when Nidhad binds Volund, the foe of the gods, this is in harmony with Mimir's activity throughout the epic of the myths as the friend of the Asa-gods, and as the helper of Odin, his sister's son, in word and deed.

 VOLUND   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Volund is the titular figure in the Eddic Lay, Volundarksvidha.
One of the valkyries married to Volund's brother Egil in the first half of the lay is called "Olrun" or "ale-rune".
Volund could have, in fact, learned the kind of magic he used in the second half of the lay (ale-magic, flying, etc...) from his swan-maid wife.

 [No title]
In the opening prose to Volundarkvida, the narrator names three brothers Slagfin, Egil, and Volund who "went on snow-shoes and hunted wild beasts." The text of the poem names Volund in particular as "prince of the elves" and a "wise elf." Thus we can assume that he and his brothers are elves.
In Volundarkvida 14, Volund states "We were rich in gold at home, when we were all together" We know that Volund is an elf, therefore his home may be designated as Alfheim, for the same reason the Aesir are relegated to Asgard and the Vans to Vanaheim.
The Vilkinasaga also knows the brothers Volund and Egil as giants, son of a giant and a mermaid, while Volundarkvida knows these brothers as "alfr." From a comparison of sources the Sons of Ivaldi, appear to be sons of the elf Ivaldi and the giantess Greip, Geirrod's daughter.

The "Lay of Volund" (Volundarkvitha) is one of the oldest in the "Poetic (or Elder) Edda," a collection of Norse mythology and heroic legend that survives in a unique Icelandic manuscript (the Codex Regius) written circa 1270.
It relates the vengeful story of Volund, lord of the elves, unjustly held captive by King Nidud (Nithhad), who takes for himself the smith's magic sword and gives the gold ring he had wrought for his Valkyrie bride to his own daughter Bodvild (Beadohild).
But, when the king's young sons come to see his treasures, Volund kills the hapless boys and fashions drinking cups from their skulls and jewels from their eyes, which he sends to the unsuspecting king and queen.

Through a series of questions and answers, we learn that the gate will only be open to the one who can obtain a sword, "laevateinn," a most dangerous weapon which can bring down the gold-glittering cock that sits in the open air at the top of "Mimir's Tree" (Yggdrassil).
Strophe 32 tells us that "long has (the hall) trembled on the point of the sword." Thru a series of comparisons, we discover that this is the sword made my Volund, one of the Sons of Ivaldi, who feels most gravely insulted by the judgement of the gods on his work.
Some brief comparisons will serve to illustrate the validity of this interpretation, which is important to the understanding of Fjolsvinsmal 30: In Volundarkviða, Volund forges a sword and a "lind-ring" which is taken from him by Nidhad (Nidi= the Subterranean).
