But it is true what you said: a mighty one is Odin. There is much
evidence that points to this. Thus it says here in the words of the
Æsir themselves:

“The ash Yggdrasil, this is the foremost of trees, and
Skidbladnir of ships, Odin of the Æsir, of horses Sleipnir,
Bifrost of bridges, and Bragi of poets, Habrok of hawks and
of dogs Garm.”’

Then spoke Gangleri: ‘Whose is the horse Sleipnir? And what is
there to tell about it?’
