Bergelmir
In
Norse mythology , Bergelmir (Old Norse , "Mountain Yeller" or "Bear Yeller" [Lindow, 2001. He also gives "Bare Yeller" as a third possible interpretation.] ) was a frost giant, the son ofThrudgelmir and the grandson ofAurgelmir orYmir , the first giant, according to stanza 29 of the poem "Vafthrudnismal " from the "Poetic Edda "::"Uncountable winters before the earth was made,:then Bergelmir was born,:Thrudgelmir was his father,:and Aurgelmir his grandfather.":::— Larrington trans.
According to the "
Gylfaginning " section of the "Prose Edda " bySnorri Sturluson , Bergelmir and his wife alone among the giants were the only survivors of the enormous deluge of blood which flowed from Ymir's wounds when he was killed byOdin and his brothersVili andVe . They escaped the sanguinary flood by climbing onto an ark [Faulkes, 1987.] and subsequently became the progenitors of a new race of frost giants. BothJohn Lindow andCarolyne Larrington agree with scholarly consensus that Snorri borrowed fromJudeo-Christian tradition for his mythological account of the Flood.References
