Ullr · the archer on skis
Ullr travels on skis and shoots with a skill no rival can match. In Snorri’s account, those facing single combat may call on him.
Context
Gylfaginning identifies him as Sif’s son and Thor’s stepson. The short account gives him a warrior’s accomplishments without telling a long adventure.
