Guðmóðr

Guðmóðr is a figure mentioned in Old Norse mythological texts, primarily the Poetic Edda. Specifically, Guðmóðr appears in the poem Grímnismál. In this poem, Odin, disguised as Grímnir, recounts his knowledge of various mythological halls and realms. Guðmóðr is identified as the son of the god Thor.

The mention of Guðmóðr is brief and serves to establish a lineage within the divine family. While his parentage is clearly stated as Thor, the extent of his own mythological significance or deeds is not elaborated upon in the surviving sources. He is not a prominent character in the same way that other children of Odin or Thor, such as Magni or Modi, are.

The name Guðmóðr itself is composed of two elements: "guð," meaning "god," and "móðr," meaning "anger" or "courage." This suggests a name associated with divine ferocity or spirit. However, without further narrative context, his specific role or characteristics remain largely speculative. The limited information available means Guðmóðr is primarily known through his familial connection to Thor rather than through any independent mythological actions.
