When two treacherous dwarves murdered Suttungr's Gillingr, he set out to avenge them. In exchange for sparing their lives, the dwarves offered him a magical Mead, which he hid in a vault inside the mountain Hnitbjorg. Along with his daughter Gunnlöð, he guarded it jealously, until one day, Odin came looking for it...
Many legends have a nugget of fact at the heart, even if the tale itself is fantastical. The Mead, in particular, seems a metaphor for something else. Equally, Suttungr may be a representation of some powerful ruler from unrecorded Norse history. Note to self: investigate further.
