Fjölvar

A companion of the rude ferryman Hárbarðr (Odin), mentioned in a stanza from Hárbarðsljóð:

I was with Fjölvari

five winters through,

in the isle

which Algrön hight.

There we could fight,

and slaughter make,

many perils prove,

indulge in love.

A giantess or troll-wife named Fjölvor is listed in the Nafnaþulur, thus it is possible that Fjölvar too is a giant. The island Algrön or Algrœn, "All-green," is not mentioned elsewhere in the Eddas.
