Mythology[]
| “ | Sleipnir was Odin's horse, birthed by Loki. This peculiar union was due to Loki taking a mare's form to distract Svadilfari, the draft horse of the mason who had made a wager with the gods to claim Freyja as wife and steal the sun and the moon if he could construct them a fortress in a short period of time. Sleipnir had eight legs and was the swiftest horse ever known. "Yggdrasil's ash is of all trees most excellent, and of all ships, Skidbladnir, of the Aesir, Odin, and of horses, Sleipnir, Bifrost of bridges, and of skalds, Bragi, Habrok of hawks, and of dogs, Garm Brimir of swords." -- The Poetic Edda, The Lay of Grimnir |
