Grimnir

Grimnir taught Geirrodr how to unseat an opponent from his horse with a minimum amount of effort. And sometimes late in the evening Grimnir talked of Asgardr and the Æsir themselves, as if he had actually been there.

To torture him into talking, the king strung Grimnir between two fires for eight nights. King Geirrod had a ten-year-old son named after his brother, Agnar. Agnar gave Grimnir a whole horn to drink, saying it was wrong for his father to torture an innocent man.
