__NOTOC__ Álfröðull (Old Norse "elf-beam",〔Orchard (1997:153).〕 "elf-disc"〔Faulkes (1995:133).〕 or "elf-glory, elf-heaven"〔Machan (1988:(105 )).〕) is a term and common kenning in Norse mythology. It is ambiguous, referring both to the sun-chariot of the sun goddess Sól (for example, Alfröðull is said to shine in ''Skírnismál'', verse 4〔Machan (1988:(89 )).〕) and to the rider (Sól herself). Álfröðull is pulled by two horses, Árvakr and Alsviðr. The chariot is pursued by the wolf Sköll. According to Norse mythology, prior to Ragnarök, Álfröðull will give birth to a daughter and after she is eaten by the wolf, the daughter will take her place. ==''Vafþrúðnismál''== According to the poem ''Vafþrúðnismál'', verses 46–47: Óðinn kvað: :"Hvaðan kemr sól :á inn slétta himin, :er þessa hefr Fenrir farit?" Vafþrúðnir kvað: :"Eina dóttur :berr Alfröðull, :áðr hana Fenrir fari; :sú skal ríða, :þá er regin deyja, :móður brautir, mær."〔(Guðni Jónsson's edition ) at Norrøne Tekster og Kvad.〕 Benjamin Thorpe's translation: Gagnrâd: :"Whence will come the sun in that fair heaven, when Fenrir has this devoured?" Vafthrûdnir: :"A daughter shall Alfrodull bear, ere Fenrir shall have swallowed her. The maid shall ride, when the powers die, on her mother's course."〔Thorpe (1907:(16 )).〕 Snorri Sturluson cites this passage in his account of Ragnarök in the ''Gylfaginning'' section of his ''Prose Edda''.〔Faulkes (1995:57).〕 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「Álfröðull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
