Gæfuleysi
Gæfuleysi was a dwarf known for his misfortune,[1] tales of which were collected into a series of tomes known as the "Heroic Sagas".[2]
History
Many of the tales about Gæfuleysi center around battles, some of which he lost, like his fight with a one-eyed elf, and some of which he won thanks to his ingenuity, like in his fight with a so-called "invincible man". Other stories detail Gæfuleysi being cursed by a witch, being robbed by bandits, drinking cursed mead, eating a troll and being eaten whole by a bear. One story told about an episode where Gæfuleysi decided to "spread embarrassing rumors about the size of Thor's manhood", which caused the god to strike Gæfuleysi with lightining bolts at inopportune moments to teach him a lesson.[2]
Legacy
In Eivor Varinsdottir's visions of Odin's time at Svartálfaheimr, the All-Father collected the Heroic Sagas to inspire new boasts for him to use at Kára's Domain.[2]
