Note to Þul Ásynja 1III
[7] Iðunn: Also Iðuðr; the name may mean ‘rejuvenating one’ (AEW: Iðunn). This goddess is the wife of Bragi (see Note to Þul Ása I l. 10). In Old Norse myth she owns the apples that prevent the gods from aging (see Lok 16-18, Gylf, SnE 2005, 25, Skm, SnE 1998, I, 1, 2, 19, 20, 30, etc.). In skaldic poetry the name of this Ásynja is found only in Þjóð Haustl 10/3-4.
