As men and gods owed the priceless gift to Odin, they were ever readyto express to him their gratitude, and they not only called it byhis name, but they worshipped him as patron of eloquence, poetry, and song, and of all scalds.
The God of Music Although Odin had thus won the gift of poetry, he seldom made use ofit himself. It was reserved for his son Bragi, the child of Gunlod, to become the god of poetry and music, and to charm the world withhis songs.
"White-bearded bard, ag'd Bragi, ...his gold harp Sweeps--and yet softer Stealeth the day. " Viking Tales of the North (R. B. Anderson).
As soon as Bragi was born in the stalactite-hung cave where Odin hadwon Gunlod's affections, the dwarfs presented him with a magical goldenharp, and, setting him on one of their own vessels, they sent him outinto the wide world. As the boat gently passed out of subterraneandarkness, and floated over the threshold of Nain, the realm of thedwarf of death, Bragi, the fair and immaculate young god, who untilthen had shown no signs of life, suddenly sat up, and, seizing thegolden harp beside him, he began to sing the wondrous song of life, which rose at times to heaven, and then sank down to the dread realmof Hel, goddess of death.
