Óðrerir

Óðrerir is mentioned in two ambiguous passages of the Hávamál.

In a first stanza (107), it is sometimes assumed that Óðrerir is synonymous with mead of poetry,[1] but both interpretations are possible.

In another stanza (140), the meaning of Óðrerir depends on the translation.

For Snorri Sturluson, Óðrerir is the name of the kettle in which Kvasir's blood was mixed with honey to create the mead: Similarly, Snorri considers that "liquid of Óðrerir and Boðn and Són" (lögr Óðreris ok Boðnar ok Sónar) is a kenning for the mead of poetry (Skáldskaparmál, 3).

Boðn probably means "vessel"[1] and Són signifies either "reconciliation"[3] or "blood".
