Reginsmál
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eddic poem
Reginsmál (Old Norse: 'The Lay of Reginn')[1] is an Eddic poem interspersed with prose found in the Codex Regius manuscript. It is closely associated with Fáfnismál , the poem that immediately follows it in the Codex, and it is likely that the two of them were intended to be read together.[1]
The poem, if regarded as a single unit, is disjoint and fragmentary, consisting of stanzas both in ljóðaháttr and fornyrðislag . The first part relates Loki's dealings with Andvari. Interpolated with prose passages, the poem moves on to Sigurd's relationship with Reginn and the advice given to him by Odin.[citation needed ]
