King Geirrod Betrayed His Brother Agnar And Sent Him To Die But Justice Finally Prevailed

A. Sutherland  – AncientPages.com – The dispute between Odin and Frigg has been provoked by their relationship with Geirrod (Geirröd) and Agnar, who were sons of King Hrauding of the Goths. Hrauding was a human king and the proud father of Geirrod and Agnar.

His story is beautifully narrated in the poem Grímnismál from the Poetic Edda, the great collection of Norse-Icelandic mythological and heroic poetry.

One day, the boys set out in a boat to catch some small fish. However, the wind swept them off into the open sea. During the pitch-black night, they found themselves shipwrecked on an unfamiliar shore.

Venturing inland, they stumbled upon a humble cottage where they sought refuge for the winter months. In the cottage lived a poor farmer and his wife, who were, in reality, Odin and Frigg.
