- Völu-Steinn
Völu-Steinn is an
Iceland icskald of the mid-10th century. Two half-stanzas have come down to us, both preserved inSnorri Sturluson 's "Skáldskaparmál " (3, 57). As "Landnámabók " (S 142) mentions Völu-Steinn's great sorrow at the death of his son Ögmundr, it is generally admitted that these verse belong to a poem in memory of his son [See for instance: Snorri Sturluson. "Edda". Translated and edited by Anthony Faulkes. London: Everyman, 1995. p. 259. ISBN 0-460-87616-3.] .Sigurður Nordal suggested Völu-Steinn as a possible author of "Völuspá ". [Sigurður Nordal (1952). "Völuspá". Reykjavík: Helgafell.]References
