  1. Then spoke Third: ‘Just as from Niflheim there arose coldness
  2. and all things grim, so what was facing close to Muspell was hot
  3. and bright, but Ginnungagap was as mild as a windless sky. And
  4. when the rime and the blowing of the warmth met so that it
  5. thawed and dripped, there was a quickening from these flowing
  6. drops due to the power of the source of the heat, and it became
  7. the form of a man, and he was given the name Ymir. But the
  8. frost-giants call him Aurgelmir, and from him are descended
  9. the generations of frost-giants, as it says in the Shorter Voluspa:
  10.  
  11. All sibyls are from Vidolf, all wizards from Vilmeid, all
  12. sorcerers from Svarthofdi, all giants from Ymir come.
  13.  
  14.  
  15. - Prose Edda, Gylfaginning
