Gunnlod


In Norse mythology, Gunnlöð (Old Norse "battle-invitation") is a jötunn.

Gunnlöð is daughter of the giant Suttungr, who was set guard by him in the mountain Hnitbjorg where he housed the mead of poetry. Her grandfather was Gilling.

Gunnlöð was seduced by Odin, who according to the Prose Edda bargained three nights of sex for three sips of the mead and then tricked her, stealing all of it. However, the poem Hávamál of the Poetic Edda tells the story a bit differently:

It would seem, from this version of the tale, that Gunnlöð helped Odin willingly, and that he thought well of her in return.
