- Then spoke Third: ‘Just as from Niflheim there arose coldness
- and all things grim, so what was facing close to Muspell was hot
- and bright, but Ginnungagap was as mild as a windless sky. And
- when the rime and the blowing of the warmth met so that it
- thawed and dripped, there was a quickening from these flowing
- drops due to the power of the source of the heat, and it became
- the form of a man, and he was given the name Ymir. But the
- frost-giants call him Aurgelmir, and from him are descended
- the generations of frost-giants, as it says in the Shorter Voluspa:
- All sibyls are from Vidolf, all wizards from Vilmeid, all
- sorcerers from Svarthofdi, all giants from Ymir come.
- - Prose Edda, Gylfaginning
