Mundilfari
In Norse mythology Mundilfari or Mundilfäri (Old Norse, possibly "the one moving according to particular times"〔Simek (2007:222).〕) is the father of Sól, goddess associated with the Sun, and Máni, associated with the Moon. Mundilfari is attested in the ''Poetic Edda'' poem ''Vafþrúðnismál'' stanza 23, and in chapter 11 of the ''Prose Edda'' book ''Gylfaginning''. ==Etymology== The name appears in various forms in attestations for the figure, some of them significantly different, and various theories have been proposed for the name.〔 John Lindow states that if the first element, ''mundil-'' is related to ''mund'', meaning "period of time," then the name may be a kenning for the Moon,〔Lindow (2001:233).〕 as Rudolf Simek theorizes.〔
