One of the most fascinating poems from the Poetic Edda, Vafþrúðnismál pits the Allfather, Odin, against his wisest nemesis...Vafþrúðnir, a frost giant of immense antiquity and wisdom who challenges him to a game of wits, with their lives on the line...Mortal Kombat Jeopardy, as it were.

Jotun versus Óðinn...who wins?
