00:00:00.000 The Poem of Hindla
00:00:21.000 The Hinluljoth, the poem of Hindla. The Hinluljoth is found in neither of the great manuscripts of the Poetic Edda, but it is included in the so-called Fletterj枚rbach, Book of the Flatland, an enormous compilation made somewhere about 1400.
00:00:37.840 The lightness of this manuscript would of itself be enough to cast a doubt upon the condition in which the poem has been preserved, and there can be no question that what we have is in very poor shape.
00:00:50.540 It is, in fact, two separate poems, or parts of them, clumsily put together.
00:00:55.700 The longer one, the poem of Hindla, proper, is chiefly a collection of names, not strictly mythological, but belonging to the semi-historical hero sagas of Norse tradition.
00:01:05.720 The wise woman, Hindla, being asked by Freyja to trace the ancestry of her favorite, Otan, for the purpose of deciding a wager, gives a complex genealogy including many of the heroes who appear in the popular sagas handed down from days long before the Atlantic settlements.
00:01:23.020 The poet was learned, but without enthusiasm. It is not likely that he composed the Hindla Lyoth much before the 12th century.
00:01:32.480 Though the material of which it is compounded must have been very much older.
00:01:37.780 Although the genealogies are centrally continental, the poem seems rather like a product of the archaeological period of Iceland.
00:01:47.060 Inserted bodily in the Hindleria proper is a fragment of 51 lines, taken from a poem of which, by a curious chance, we know the name.
00:01:56.160 Snorri quotes one stanza of it, calling it the Short Veruspo.
00:02:00.260 The fragment preserved gives, of course, no indication of the length of the original poem,
00:02:04.740 but it shows that it was a late and very inferior imitation of the great Veloospo.
00:02:09.860 Like the Henlelioth proper, it apparently comes from the 12th century,
00:02:14.200 but there is nothing whatsoever to indicate that the two poems were the work of the same man,
00:02:19.460 or were ever connected in any way until some bludgering copyist mixed them up.
00:02:24.420 Certainly the connection did not exist in the middle of the 13th century
00:02:27.280 when Snorri quoted the short Veluspa.
00:02:30.840 Neither poem is of any great value,
00:02:33.520 either as mythology or as poetry.
00:02:35.900 The author of the short Veluspa
00:02:37.660 seems indeed to have been more or less confused as to the facts,
00:02:42.340 and both poets were too late
00:02:44.700 to feel anything of the enthusiasm at the earlier school.
00:02:48.160 The names of endless heroes, of course,
00:02:49.940 suggest an unlimited number of stories,
00:02:52.180 but as most of these have no direct relation to the poems of the Edda,
00:02:55.860 I have limited the notes to a mere record of who the persons mentioned were, and the saga groups in which they appeared.
00:03:04.780 Hindla lioth, Freya spake.
00:03:08.700 Maiden awake, wake thee, my friend, my sister Hindla in the hollow cave.
00:03:14.400 Already come darkness, and ride must we to Valhall to seek the sacred hall.
00:03:20.220 The favor of here fathers seek we shall find.
00:03:23.600 To his followers gold he gladly gives, To Hermoth gave him hand and mail-coat,
00:03:30.040 And to Sigmund he gave the sword as a gift.
00:03:33.840 Triumph to come, and treasure to others, To many wisdom and skill and words.
00:03:39.780 Fair winds to the sailor, to the singer his art, And a manly heart to many a hero.
00:03:46.080 Dor shall I honor, and this shall I ask, That his favor true, mayst thou ever find.
00:03:53.120 little the brides of the giants he loves from the stall now one of thy wolves lead forth and along
00:04:01.440 with my boar shalt thou let him run for slow my boar goes on the road of the gods and i would not
00:04:08.480 weary my worthy steed endless spake falsely thou ask me thraya to go for so in the glance of thine
00:04:19.280 eyes I see. On the way of the slain thy lover goes with thee, Othar the young, the son of
00:04:25.800 Einstein. Freya spake, Wild dreams, methinks, are thine, when thou sayest, My lover is
00:04:34.640 with me on the way of the slain. There shines the boar with bristles of gold. Hindel the
