#HACK GU VOL 1 SLEIPNIR SERIES#
The Sleipnir is also an eight-legged horse in the Anime Series Ah! My Goddess It is a six-legged animal that is horse-like in appearance except for metal plating on its topside and large spines that extend from the plating in the areas of its head, neck and tail. The Sleipnir is a monster that can be encountered in the video game Final Fantasy VIII. Its a footware type item that enables the user to move faster and also gives a boost to hit points and mana points.Ĭonsidering practically every hack video game out there (especially JRPGs) heavily references mythology, especially Nordic, listing a comprehensive list of every occurence of "Sleipnir" would actually take up a significant volume of this article, for a venture I don't beleive to be particularly worthwhile. Someone ought to mention taht 'sleipnir' is a godly item in the mmorpg Ragnarok. I am sorry for changing this so often,its just that there was always something that was not the way i wanted it I would like to say that I am not an expert on this subject and that I am just someone trying to help and I would like it very much if someone corrected me if I am wrong. Maybe "berg" was used for mountain when Snorri wrote the book. The giant had time from start of winter until start of summer.Īccording to my icelandic "translation" he is a (bergþurs), I dont know if it should be translated as mountain giant.My suggestions would be something like "rock giant","cliff giant" or "crag giant". Svartalf 17:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC) Reply My English translation of the Prose Edda (the only source on that episode) calls him a mountain giant, while other versions I've read call him a Hrimthurs (frost giant), so I don't even know for sure what Snorri's text says. RJFJR 03:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC) Reply It is said the task had to be done in 6 months, presumably from solstice to solstice, or equinox to equinox (I lean toward the latter, if only because working around Yuletime must not have been very practical). How long? RJFJR 03:11, 2 February 2006 (UTC) Reply ĭoes the gian have a name? If so, what is it. But it doesn't say what the time limit was. The article mentions that there is a time limit for the giant to receive the sun, moon and Freya. Odin is considered a patron of heroes, but as a treacherous one, who will draw a hero to great glory, but withdraw his favour at a key moment, causing the hero’s dramatic death (and, presumably, expediate his passage to Valhalla, and an afterlife serving Odin there). This metaphor describes the coffin as the true steed of Odin, who is in some of his manifestations seen as a death god, or "the god of the gallows". The eight legs are the legs of the four mourners who bear the coffin to the grave. Namely that the horse, Sleipnir, is actually a mythic metaphor for the coffin. I note that the wiki page leaves out an important notion on the tradition of the eight legs.
There seems to be a disparity in the article about the number of legs Sleipnir has.Six legs or eight legs?
