Note to Þul Ása I 1III

[2] Baldr: A god, Óðinn’s son, whose name is possibly related to OE bealdor ‘lord’ (AEW: Baldr; for a discussion of this name and the god, see Liberman 2004). The myth of Baldr’s death is known from eddic poems (cf. Bdr, Vsp 31-3, 62/4-7, Hyndl 29-30/1, etc.) and also from Gylf (SnE 2005, 45-8) and Saxo (Saxo 2005, I, 3, 2, 3-3, 7, pp. 190-203). See also Note to Anon Eirm 3/5I.
