From the author: This is a scholarly edition of Grottasöngr, with the text presented in Old Icelandic with English translation, accompanied by introduction and commentary. The poem, possibly from the twelfth century in its extant form, is found in some manuscripts of Snorri's Edda; it relates the tale of the gold-working mill Grotti and the giant slave girls who work it for King Fróði. It concludes with the demise of Fróði, brought about by the slave girls in chagrin at their maltreatment by the king. I seek in this edition to present the poem in its mythological, legendary, historical and poetic context.
