I am amazed at the things I learn in this thread.


sleipnir-1-grand.jpg

Sleipnir
is a horse of Norse mythology who was believed to belong to Odin, the god of war, poetry, knowledge, and wisdom. Slepnier, however, was no ordinary horse. Having 8 legs, his speed far exceeded that of any other horse. He was also said to be exceptionally smooth, which is where he got his name, the meaning of which is "smooth" or "gliding".

The story behind this unusual horse is quite unusual itself. It all started when Thor, the god of thunder and war, left Asgard to slay giants. While he was away, a frost giant named Hrimthurs came to Asgard disguised as a human stonemason and offered to rebuild the wall around Asgard which had recently fallen. All he asked for in return was the sun, the moon, and Freyja, the beautiful fertility goddess.
