In the Epilogue section of the book "Skáldskaparmál", a euhemerized monologue states that "what they called Surt's fire was when Troy burned". In chapter 2, a work by the skald Eyvindr skáldaspillir is quoted that mentions "Surt's deep vales", using the name "Surtr" as a common noun for a jötunn, with "deep vales" referring to the depths of the mountains (specifically Hnitbjorg). In chapter 75, Surtr is included within a list of "very powerful" jötnar.
