Question

The Saga of Hervör and Heidrek contains three poems: one romantic, one heroic, and one gnomic. For 10 points each:
[10m] In the romantic poem, Hervör wakes her dead father from his grave to acquire this sword forged at the demand of Svafrlami (s'vah-fur-LAH-mee). This sword was cursed to cause three great evils, and to kill a man every time it was drawn.
ANSWER: Tyrfing
[10h] The heroic poem is this epic about the aftermath of Heidrek's death, in which Heidrek's legitimate son Angantyr (AHN-gahn-teer) refuses to grant an equal share of his inheritance to his illegitimate half-brother, leading to war.
ANSWER: Hlödskvida (huh-”load”-SKVEE-duh) [or The Battle of the Goths and Huns; accept Hunnenschlachtlied]
[10e] The gnomic poem depicts one of these contests between Gestumblindi (geh-stoom-BLIN-dee) and a disguised Odin, which was a direct inspiration for the one between Bilbo and Gollum in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
ANSWER: riddle contest(s) [accept gata or gatur for “riddle”; accept anything indicating the idea of riddles that does not somehow contradict the idea of a competition]
