- Sökkvabekkr
In
Norse mythology , Sökkvabekkr (generally believed to mean "Sunken Benches") is the dwelling ofOdin andSága or of Sága alone.In "
Grímnismál ", Sökkvabekkr is listed among the gods' abodes. It is said to belong to Odin and Sága::Sökkvabekk is the fourth, where cool waves flow,:And amid their murmur it stands;:There daily do Othin and Saga drink:In gladness from cups of gold.:::—"Grimnismol" (7), [http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe06.htm Bellow's translation]
This stanza is sometimes used to support that Sága is a hypostasis of
Frigg ."Grímnismál" was probably the source of
Snorri Sturluson when he wrote about Sága::She dwells at Sokkvabekk, and that is a big place.:::—"
