Gunnlod

Gunnlod
Ilustración de Gunnlod

En la mitología nórdica, Gunnlöð (Gunnlod) era la hija de Suttung, y quien hacía guardia en nombre de él en la caverna donde se guarda el hidromiel de la poesía. Fue seducida por Odín, quien de acuerdo a Snorri arregló con ella un cambio de tres noches de sexo por tres sorbos de la hidromiel, y luego la engañó robándosela toda y huyendo en forma de ave. pero la Hávamál de la Edda Poética cuenta la historia un poco diferente:

Gunnlod me sentó en un asiento dorado,
Me virtió preciosa hidromiel:
La recompensa que ella tuvo de mi por eso,
Por su orgulloso y apasionado corazón,
Su premonitorio espíritu rumiante.
Lo que gané de ella he usado bien:
Me he encerado en sabiduría desde que volví,
trayendo a Asgard Odhroerir,
el trago sagrado.
Duramente hubiera vuelto vivo a casa
De las garras del severo troll,
Si Gunnlod no me hubiera ayudado, la buena mujer,
Quien envolvió sus brazos a mi alrededor.

Pareciera, de esta versión del relato, que Gunnlod ayudó voluntariamente a Odín, y que él pensó bien de ella en su regreso.
