Þrymskviða (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by stenAanden@feddit.dk to c/folklore@mander.xyz
 

Þrymskviða is a story recorded on the poetic edda. It is notable for having survived in folkloric ballads recorded in most of the nordic countries as far back as the middle ages.

This includes Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

Here is a link to versions in the various languages.

This book (in Danish) discusses it’s origins and spread throughout the nordic countries as well as how the different versions differ from one another.
