notes

[3] Sól: The personification of the sun, and the sister of Máni lit. ‘moon’ (Vafþr 23/1-3). In Gylf (SnE 2005, 13, 30), it is told that Sól, although reckoned among the Ásynjur, is a human being, the daughter of Mundilfœri. The gods had taken her from her earthly husband and placed her in the sky to drive the horses that pulled the chariot of the sun.
