The second song of Sigurd Fafnisbani relates how Sigurd was going to make war on the sons of Hunding. As he sailed along the coast a man stood on a rock and asked him who they were. They answered, and when they asked who he was he said he was called Hnikar (one of Odin’s names), but they might call him the man of the rock, Feng or Fjölnir (Odin’s names). He went on board and the storm ceased.
Sigurd sang
Tell me, Hnikar,
As thou knowest both
The luck of gods and men,
Which are best
If one should fight
Omens at the swoop of swords.
Hnikar.
Many warnings are good
