Sága and Sökkvabekkr
In Norse mythology, Sága (, possibly meaning "seeress"〔Orchard (1997:136).〕) is a goddess associated with the wisdom Sökkvabekkr (; "sunken bank", "sunken bench", or "treasure bank"〔Orchard (1997:152) and Lindow (2001:265) have "sunken bank". Byock (2005:175) has "sunken bank or bench". Simek (2007:297) has "sunken bank" or "treasure bank."〕). At Sökkvabekkr, Sága and the god Odin merrily drink as cool waves flow. Both Sága and Sökkvabekkr are attested in the ''Poetic Edda'', compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and in the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the goddess and her associated location, including that the location may be connected to the goddess Frigg's fen residence Fensalir and that Sága may be another name for ''Frigg''.
==Etymology==
The etymology of the name ''Sága'' is generally held to be connected to the Old Norse verb ''sjá'', meaning "to see" (from Proto-Germanic
*''sehwan''). This may mean that Sága is to be understood as a seeress. Since Frigg is referred to as a seeress in the poem ''Lokasenna'', this etymology has led to theories connecting Sága to Frigg. Rudolf Simek says that this etymology raises vowel problems and that a link to ''saga'' and ''segja'' (meaning "say, tell") is more likely, yet that this identification is also problematic.〔Simek (2007:274).〕
