Sága
One of these aspects, or handmaidens, is Sága, who in the Younger Edda is listed second after Frigg herself. Sága lives in Sokkvabek (Sunken Hall), âa very big place.â In Grimnismál 7 we are told,
Sokkvabekk the fourth is called,
where waters cool roll round about;
there Odin and Sága drink every day,
glad from golden cups.
I suspect that while Odin and Sága are drinking together, they are trading stories. According to the Icelandic-English Dictionary, the name Sága is
akin to segja (to say) and saga, which is a story, tale, legend, history. The very word owes its origin to the fact that the first historical writings were founded on tradition only; the written record was a âsagaâ or legend committed to writing; the story thus written was not even new, but had already taken shape and had been told to many generations under the same name. (Cleasby and Vigfusson 1874)
One can picture them matching beers and competing to see who can outlast the other in capacity both for booze and for stories. We are familiar with Odin's role as a patron of poetry, but his friendship with Sága gives him a connection to prose narrative as well.
