Hrafnsmál

Hrafnsmál (Old Norse: [ˈhrɑvnsˌmɑːl]; "raven song") is a fragmentary skaldic poem generally accepted as being written by the 9th-century Norwegian skald Þorbjörn Hornklofi.

Hrafnsmál largely consists of a conversation between an unnamed valkyrie and a raven; the two discuss the life and martial deeds of Harald Fairhair.

[2] Through dating of the parts as well as the meter is consistent, they may be separate compositions but scholarly consensus is indecisive.

[3] In style, it so much resembles Atlakviða (one of the oldest Eddic poems) that it has been suggested they were both composed by Hornklofi.

[4][5][6] Stanzas from the poem were reworked into a song by Einar Selvik for the game Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
