'Hávamál', notable for its unforgettable flashes of beauty and despair, explores the nature of human knowledge. 'Hymiskviða' is the boisterous tale of the giant Hymir. 'Grímnismál', the lay of Grímnir, the Visored God, is a dramatic monologue spoken by Óðin. The final poem, 'Gróttasöngr', is the song of two girls kept as slaves by King Fróði to work at his magic grindstone. Ursula Dronke provides new and illuminating textual readings of these celebrated works.
