rådommen

Rådommen, also known as "the riddles," is a collection of 120 riddles found in the Icelandic sagas, particularly in the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. These riddles are attributed to the god Odin and are presented in a series of dialogues between Odin and various characters, including the giant Hymir, the dwarf Andvari, and the skalds Bragi and Bragi's brother. The riddles are known for their complexity and cleverness, often requiring the solver to think outside the box to find the correct answer. The answers to the riddles are typically names of objects, animals, or people, and they often reveal hidden meanings or symbolism. The riddles in Rådommen are considered some of the most challenging and thought-provoking in all of Norse literature, and they continue to be studied and admired by scholars and enthusiasts of Norse mythology and culture.
