notes

[5] Sámsey ‘Samsø’: An island off the eastern coast of Jutland in the Kattegat. A no less famous p. n. than Mársey, first of all because of the battle that took place there when the legendary heroes Ǫrvar-Oddr and his blood-brother Hjálmarr faced off against Angantýr and his eleven berserk-brothers (cf. Ǫrv ch. 14, FSN II, 210-22; see also Bolm in st. 4/5). In Lok 24, Óðinn is accused of having practised seiðr ‘magic’ on Samsø.
