Mundilfare

Prose Edda

• attestation: Mundilfare had two beautiful children whom he named Sun (daughter) and Moon (son) (The Younger Edda: > Chapter V. > The Creation--(Continued.))

  "Mundilfare hight the man who had two children. They were so fair and beautiful that he called his son Moon, and his daughter, whom he gave in marriage to a man by name Glener, he called Sun"

• attestation: Mundilfare's arrogance in naming his children Sun and Moon provoked the gods' wrath (The Younger Edda: > Chapter V. > The Creation--(Continued.))

  "the gods became wroth at this arrogance, took both the brother and the sister, set them up in heaven"
