Origin of Bragi¹

< Old Norse; compare Old English brego prince, Old Norse bragr poetic art; perhaps akin to Sanskrit bráhma Brahma ¹

Bragi instantly complied with his request, by informing him of what had happened to Iduna.

Some scholars hold that Bragi, the god of poetry, is no other than the poet Bragi Boddason.

Bragi, the god of poetry, could make no music while his beautiful wife was gone he knew not whither.

Bragi sprang up at that affront, but his wife, the mild Iduna, quieted his anger.
