Fjölvar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Norse mythology, Fjölvar was a being, possibly a giant, with whom Odin spent time fighting and seducing women on the island of Algroen ("all green"). This episode was recounted by Odin himself in disguise while boasting of his martial skill and sexual prowess to Thor in the poem Hárbardsljód.
