Balder
Balder is Odin’s and Frigga’s son and is very wise. Known for his
eloquence, friendliness, and handsomeness, he is also renowned as a
great victor on the battlefield. For all these great attributes, the
story of Balder is a sad one for his death shocks the Gods and he is
greatly grieved by all creatures.
From the 18th century Icelandic manuscript SÁM 66 in the care of the Árni Magnússon Institute in Iceland.
