Encyclopedia > Baugi

In Norse mythology, Baugi was a Jotun and brother of Suttung, who had hidden the mead of poetry after obtaining it from Fjalar and Galar, who had murdered Suttung's father (Baugi's uncle: Gilling).


Odin eventually decided to obtain the mead. He worked for Baugi, a farmer, for an entire summer, then asked for a small sip of the mead. Baugi drilled into the mountain and Odin changed into a snake and slithered inside. Inside, Gunnlod, Suttung's daughter, was guarding but he persuaded her to give him three sips; Odin proceeded to drink all the mead, change into an eagle and escape.
