Kormákr Ögmundarson

Kormákr Ögmundarson

Kormákr Ögmundarson was a 10th century Icelandic skald. He is the protagonist of "Kormáks saga" which preserves a significant amount of poetry attributed to him. According to "Skáldatal" he was also the court poet of Sigurðr Hlaðajarl and fragments of a "drápa" to the jarl are preserved in "Skáldskaparmál".

The following stanzas represent some of Kormákr's love poetry. He tells of the first time he met Steingerðr, the love of his life. [http://www.hi.is/~haukurth/norse/sounds/brunnu_beggja_kinna.wav Read aloud.]
