Freyr, Lord of the Harvest

The myth

Freyr is the Vanir god of fertility, peace, harvest, sunshine and rain. Son of Njörðr and brother of Freyja, he lives in Álfheimr and owns the ship Skíðblaðnir and the boar Gullinbursti. In Skírnismál he sees the giantess Gerðr and falls in love; to win her he gives his sword, which fought by itself, to his servant Skírnir. At Ragnarök, unarmed, he faces Surtr with a stag's antler and dies. The eleventh-century chronicler Adam of Bremen describes a statue of him in the temple at Uppsala, calling him Fricco.
