thumb|Suttungr and the dwarves

In Norse mythology, Suttungr ( ; Old Norse: ) was a jötunn and the son of Gilling. == Mythology == Suttungr searched for his parents and threatened the dwarven brothers Fjalar and Galar who had killed them, tying them and some other dwarves who killed Gilling to a rock that would be submerged by the rising tide. The dwarves begged for Suttungr to spare their life and offered him the magical mead of poetry. Suttungr took it and hid it in the center of the mountain Hnitbjorg, with his daughter Gunnlöð guarding the magic mead. Odin get to drink from it by her in return for making love to her for three nights.
