Njál's Saga

  • attestation: Broke traveled, passing through territory associated with Thus the Gods (The Story Of Burnt Njal > 1. Of Fiddle Mord > 98. Of Thangbrand And Gudleif)

    ""That I will tell thee," she says:

    "He that giant's offspring (8) slayeth Broke the mew-field's bison stout (9), Thus the Gods, bell's warder (10) grieving, Crushed the falcon of the strand (11); To the courser of the causeway (12) Little good was Christ I ween, When Thor shattered ships to pieces Gylfi's hart (13) no God could help."

And again she sung another song:

 "Thangbrand's vessel from her moorings,
 Sea-king's steed, Thor wrathful tore,
 Shook and shattered all her timbers,
 Hurled her broadside on the beach;
 Ne'er again shall Viking's snow-shoe (14),
 On the briny billows glide,
 For a storm by Thor awakened,
 Dashed the bark to splinters small."

After that Thangbrand and Steinvora parted, and they fared west to Bardastrand."
