In Norse mythology, Járnviðr (Old Norse "Iron-wood"〔Lindow (2001:204-205).〕) is a forest located east of Midgard, inhabited by troll women who bore giantesses and giant wolves. Járnviðr is attested in the ''Poetic Edda'', compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. ==''Poetic Edda''== Járnvid is mentioned in ''Völuspá'' (40): :In the east sat an old woman in Iron-wood :and nurtured there offspring of Fenrir :a certain one of them in monstrous form :will be the snatcher of the moon : ::—''Völuspá''〔Larrington (1999:9).〕 The one that will be "the snatcher of the moon" is Mánagarmr (or Hati), and the "old woman" may refer to Fenrir's mother Angrboða.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Járnviðr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
