Gefion Fountain

It features a large-scale group of oxen pulling a plow and being driven by the Norse goddess Gefjon.

According to Ynglinga saga, the Swedish king Gylfi promised Gefjun the territory she could plow in a night.

She turned her four sons into oxen, and the territory they plowed out of the earth was then thrown into the Danish sea between Scania and the island of Fyn.

[6] It is also seen in the feature films Jeg elsker en anden (1946), Mor bag rattet (1965), and Min søsters børn vælter byen (1968).

[7] Scholar Hilda Ellis Davidson comments that "some of the power of the old tale of Gefjon, creator of the islands, has been superbly expressed in the great fountain at the water's edge in Copenhagen, depicting her ploughing through the sea in a cloud of rising spray with her giant beasts.
