In Norse mythology, Gunnlöð (Old Norse 'war-foam') is a
giantess. She is daughter of the giant Suttungr, who was set
guard by her father in the cavern where he housed the
mead of poetry. Gunnlöð was seduced by Odin, who according
to the Prose Edda bargained three nights of sex for three
sips of the mead and then tricked her, stealing all of it
