prose order
I had a relationship with Hildr, the wise and large one, the stately daughter of the giant, and I had with her a very strong, glorious son, who was [lit. and] unlike other men. |
notes: The mss of this stanza display considerable variation and uncertainty about both line length and line sequence. In both 343a and 471 the stanza has ten lines, though in both not all are metrically regular. Ms. 173ˣ has eight lines, but omits two that are in 343a. Line 2 of 343a is omitted by both the other mss. Most eds enclose ll. 9-10 in square brackets and treat them as later additions. — For the subject of this stanza, cf. Ǫrv 30. The theme of the hero who has a sexual relationship with a friendly giantess and produces an outstanding male child is common to other fornaldarsögur, especially those of the Hrafnistumenn, like Ket and GrL. On the significance of the hero-giantess relationship, see McKinnell (2009b).
