That is the name of the man whom we know to be the greatest and most famous, and well may men call him by that name. He rules over rain and sunshine, and over the fruits of the earth. He is boiled every day and is whole again in the evening. Said Ganglere: What is said about this place? Neither the sea nor Surts fire has harmed them, and they dwell on the plains of Ida, where Asgard was before. It must be admitted that Thor now beguiled the Midgard-serpent not a whit less than Utgard-Loke mocked him when he was to lift the serpent with his hand.
