In Norse Mythology , Suttung was a Jotun , son of Gilling , who (along with Suttung's mother) had been murdered by Fjalar And Galar . Suttung searched for his parents and threatened the dwarven brothers (Fjalar and Galar), who offered him the magical Mead . Suttung took it and hid it in the center of a mountain, with his daughter, Gunnlod , standing guard. Odin eventually decided to obtain the mead. He worked for Baugi , Suttung's brother, a farmer, for an entire summer, then asked for a small sip of the mead. Baugi drilled into the mountain but Odin changed into a snake and slithered inside. Inside, Gunnlod was guarding but he persuaded her to give him three sips; Odin proceeded to drink all the mead, change into an eagle and escape. Suttungr chased him. There is also a Saturnian moon, Suttungr , which was originally spelled Suttung. |
