when the dark flame dies;
Móði and Magni103 will have Mjǫllnir
and work at the war’s end.
**Stanza 53:** Viðarr will avenge Odin by killing the wolf Fenrir.
Vafþrúðnir said:
‘The wolf will swallow Aldafǫðr,
Víðarr will avenge this;
he will cleave the cold jaws
of the wolf in battle.’
**Stanza 17:** Odin, in disguise, describes the dwelling places of the gods. Viðarr's home is mentioned.
‘Overgrown with brushwood and tall grass
is Víðarr’s land, with a wood;
and there the brave youth asserts from his steed’s back
that he will avenge his father.
**Prose introduction:** Viðarr is present at the feast where Loki insults the gods.
To that feast came Óðinn and Frigg, his wife. Þórr did not come, because he was on the east-way. Sif, Þórr’s wife, was there, and Bragi and Iðunn, his wife. Týr was there. He was one-handed: Fenrisúlfr bit off his hand when he was bound. Njǫrðr was there, as was his wife, Skaði, Freyr and Freyja, [and] Víðarr, Óðinn’s son. Loki was there, and Freyr’s servants, Byggvir and Beyla. Many of the Æsir and elves were there.
**Stanza 10:** Odin tells Víðarr to give his seat to Loki.
‘Arise, then, Víðarr, and let the wolf’s father
sit at the feast,
lest Loki address us with insulting words
in Ægir’s hall!’
Then Víðarr stood up and poured for Loki.
