Hyndluljóð - A Reading
Hyndluljóð (The Lay of Hyndla) | The Poetic Edda
Translated by Henry A. Bellows | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice
Hyndluljóðis tells the story of Freyja's attempt to help the human Ottar trace his ancestry. The poem is presented as a dialogue between Freyja and the jötunn (giantess) Hyndla.
In summary, Freyja seeks Hyndla's assistance in finding Ottar's lineage and encourages her to use her magical powers to see into the past. Hyndla, initially reluctant, eventually complies. As they ride together on a wolf to visit Ottar, Freyja provides her magical mead to rejuvenate Hyndla's powers.
During the journey, Hyndla details Ottar's genealogy, revealing the heroic and mythic ancestry of the human. Freyja interjects with praise and encouragement. The poem concludes with a cliffhanger, as the wolves approach Ottar's abode, leaving the resolution open-ended.
Hyndluljóð explores themes of ancestry, destiny, and the connection between gods and humans. The narrative is a mix of prose and poetic stanzas, showcasing the fusion of storytelling and verse in Old Norse literature. The poem also highlights the interconnectedness of different beings in Norse mythology and the importance of lineage in shaping individual destinies.
