Should we really be using thorns and eths in article titles? It seems unnecessarily confusing. john k 20:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps. Perhaps not. This has been discussed at length and there is no agreement yet. The best place to take it up would probably be Wikipedia_talk:Naming conventions (use English). Discussing the general case is probably more productive in the long term than debating individual articles. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 20:09, 5 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the following: Parts of the story related in Þrymskviða remained in the Thor song, a song which is known from Scandinavia and of which there are Swedish accounts from the 17th century to the 19th century. In this song, Thor is called Torkar, Loki is called Locke Lewe, Freyja is called miss Frojenborg and Þrymr is called Trolletrams.

A 15th century Icelandic rímur cycle, Þrymlur, relates the same story and is evidently based on Þrymskviða.

Most later Scandinavian forms come from Denmark and Norway, only two forms from Sweden.

Regarding Trymlur then its from the 14th cen. probally close to 1300.

Þrymlur could date to the late 14th century but in my opinion they're somewhat more likely to date from the 15th century. But, yeah, the emphasis on Swedish forms is out of place. By all means suggest another phrasing or modify the graph by yourself. Haukur (talk) 20:25, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Jan De Vries was a Nazi who was barred from teaching at university after the war. Should he really be considered a peer-reviewed source for dating Norse myth? Threepod (talk) 00:04, 26 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
