Thorkild hos Udgaardsloke, Louis Moe, published 1898

Thorkild hos udgaardsloke. The giant utgarthilocus, chained in the cave. The scene is described in gesta danorum in the following way: "he crossed this, and approached a cavern which sloped somewhat more steeply. Again, after this, a foul and gloomy room was disclosed to the visitors, wherein they saw utgarda-loki, laden hand and foot with enormous chains. Each of his reeking hairs was as large and stiff as a spear of cornel. Thorkill (his companions lending a hand), in order that his deeds might gain more credit, plucked one of these from the chin of utgarda-loki, who suffered it. Straightway such a noisome smell reached the bystanders, that they could not breathe without stopping their noses with their mantles. " elton's translation. Date: published 1898.
