[FireHeart - Exploring Worlds of Fantasy] Nidhogg

Níðhöggr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Legendary Dragons - Norse Mythology
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidhogg

(Redirected from Nidhogg)

Jump to: navigation, search

Níðhöggr or Nydhogg Nagar gnaws the roots of Yggdrasill in this illustration from a 17th century Icelandic manuscript.

In Norse mythology, Níðhöggr (Malice Striker, often anglicized Nidhogg^[1]) is a dragon who eats the roots of the World Tree, Yggdrasill.

[edit] Prose Edda

According to the Gylfaginning part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Níðhöggr or "Nidhogg Nagar" is a being which gnaws one of the three roots of Yggdrasill. This root is placed over Niflheimr and Níðhöggr gnaws it from beneath. The same source also says that "[t]he squirrel called Ratatöskr runs up and down the length of the Ash, bearing envious words between the eagle and Nídhöggr."^[2]

In the Skáldskaparmál section of the Prose Edda Snorri specifies Níðhöggr as a serpent in a list of names of such creatures:

These are names for serpents: dragon, Fafnir, Iormungand, adder, Nidhogg, snake, viper, Goin, Moin, Grafvitnir, Grabak, Ofnir, Svafnir, masked one. (Faulkes translation, p.137)

Snorri's knowledge of Níðhöggr seems to come from two of the Eddic poems: Grímnismál and Völuspá.

Later in Skáldskaparmál, Snorri includes Níðhöggr in a list of various terms and names for swords.^[3]

[edit] Poetic Edda

The poem Grímnismál identifies a number of beings which live in Yggdrasill. The tree suffers great hardship from all the creatures which live on it. The poem identifies Níðhöggr as tearing at the tree from beneath and also mentions Ratatoskr as carrying messages between Níðhöggr and the eagle who lives at the top of the tree. Snorri Sturluson often quotes Grímnismál and clearly used it as his source for this information.

The poem Völuspá mentions Níðhöggr twice. The first instance is in its description of Náströnd.

Eysteinn Björnsson's edition	Thorpe's translation	Dronke's translation
Sal sá hon standa sólu fjarri Náströndu á, norðr horfa dyrr. Fellu eitrdropar inn um ljóra, sá er undinn salr orma hryggjum. Sá hon þar vaða þunga strauma menn meinsvara ok morðvarga ok þanns annars glepr eyrarúnu. Þar saug Niðhöggr nái framgengna, sleit vargr vera - vituð ér enn, eða hvat ?	She saw a hall standing, far from the sun, in Náströnd; its doors are northward turned, venom-drops fall in through its apertures: entwined is that hall with serpent’s backs. She there saw wading the sluggish streams bloodthirsty men and perjurers, and him who the ear beguiles of another’s wife. There Nidhögg sucks the corpses of the dead; the wolf tears men. Understand ye yet, or what?	A hall she saw standing remote from the sun on Dead Body Shore. Its door looks north. There fell drops of venom in through the roof vent. That hall is woven of serpents' spines. She saw there wading onerous streams men perjured and wolfish murderers and the one who seduces another's close-trusted wife. There Malice Striker sucked corpses of the dead, the wolf tore men. Do you still seek to know? And what?

Eysteinn Björnsson's edition

Thorpe's translation

Dronke's translation

Sal sá hon standa

sólu fjarri

Náströndu á,

norðr horfa dyrr.

Fellu eitrdropar

inn um ljóra,

sá er undinn salr

orma hryggjum.

Sá hon þar vaða

þunga strauma

menn meinsvara

ok morðvarga

ok þanns annars glepr

eyrarúnu.

Þar saug Niðhöggr

nái framgengna,

sleit vargr vera -

vituð ér enn, eða hvat ?

She saw a hall standing,

far from the sun,

in Náströnd;

its doors are northward turned,

venom-drops fall

in through its apertures:

entwined is that hall

with serpent’s backs.

She there saw wading

the sluggish streams

bloodthirsty men

and perjurers,

and him who the ear beguiles

of another’s wife.

There Nidhögg sucks

the corpses of the dead;

the wolf tears men.

Understand ye yet, or what?

A hall she saw standing

remote from the sun

on Dead Body Shore.

Its door looks north.

There fell drops of venom

in through the roof vent.

That hall is woven

of serpents' spines.

She saw there wading

onerous streams

men perjured

and wolfish murderers

and the one who seduces

another's close-trusted wife.

There Malice Striker sucked

corpses of the dead,

the wolf tore men.

Do you still seek to know? And what?

Níðhöggr is also mentioned at the end of Völuspá, where he is identified as a dragon and a serpent.

Eysteinn Björnsson's edition	Bellows' translation	Dronke's translation
Þar kømr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi, naðr fránn, neðan frá Niðafjöllum. Berr sér í fjöðrum - flýgr völl yfir - Níðhöggr nái - nú mun hon søkkvask.	From below the dragon dark comes forth, Nithhogg flying from Nithafjoll; The bodies of men on his wings he bears, The serpent bright: but now must I sink.	There comes the shadowy dragon flying, glittering serpent, up from Dark of the Moon Hills. He carries in his pinions —he flies over the field— Malice Striker, corpses. Now will she sink.

The context and meaning of this stanza is disputed. The most prevalent opinion is that the arrival of Níðhöggr heralds Ragnarök and thus that the poem ends on a tone of ominous warning.

Níðhöggr is not mentioned elsewhere in any ancient source.

[edit] Níðhöggr's name

In the standardized Old Norse orthography the name is spelled Níðhǫggr or Niðhǫggr but the letter 'ǫ' is frequently replaced with the Modern Icelandic 'ö' for reasons of familiarity or technical expediency.

The name can be represented in English texts as Nidhogg, Nidhoggr, Nithhogg, Nidhögg, Nidhöggr, Nithhöggr, Nídhöggr, Nithhoggr, Nidhhogg, Níðhögg, Niðhoggr, Níðhoggr, Nídhögg, Hidhaegg, or Nidhhoggr. The Modern Icelandic forms Níðhöggur and Niðhöggur are also sometimes seen and anglicized as Nidhoggur. The Danish form Nidhug or "Nidhøg" can also be encountered.

Jörmungandr

[edit] Notes

^ While the suffix of the name, -höggr, clearly means "striker" the prefix is not as clear. In particular the length of the first vowel is not determined in the original sources. Some scholars prefer the reading Niðhöggr (Striker in the Dark).
