The Horn containing the legendary Mead of Poetry.

The Mead of poetry was a mythical potion capable of giving the power of skaldship to any who drank it, as well as being the very first mead.[1]

Mythology

Fjalar and Galar were two dwarves who sought to steal the knowledge of Kvasir, a god renowned for being intelligent. The dwarves killed Kvasir and bled him dry before mixing his blood with honey to create the "mead of poetry".[1] Some time later, after Fjalar and Galar had allegedly murdered Gillingr and his wife.[2] Their son Suttungr set out to avenge them[3] but the dwarves traded the mead of poetry in exchange for their lives.[3][2]

Seeing the drink's value, Suttungr hid it inside a Jötunheimr mountain vault to be guarded by himself and his daughter, Gunlodr.[3][4] Odin would go on to steal the mead from the vault[3] and meet Gunlodr, though accounts differed as to how the encounter played out after that.[4] After Odin stole the mead, Suttungr sent his assassin Malvigr to hunt the two dwarves down, believing them to be connected.[2]
