“ | Aegir's wife Ran was evoked as a threat against men and monsters alike: to be sent to Ran was to be sent to a watery death, drowning beneath the sea. "Ogress, you stood before the prince's ships, and lurked in the fjord's mouth; the king's men you were going to give to Ran, if a spear hadn't quite thwarted you." -- The Poetic Edda, The Lay of Helgi Hjorvardsson |
