SKÖLL. Old
Norse legend name of a wolf that causes sun eclipses, probably meaning "relentless
smiter." Anderson has SKOLL, to stick to, to adhere, to strike,
to smite. (Norrśna: The History and Romance of Northern Europe,
Anderson, v.12, 1906).
SKOLL. In
Scandinavian mythology the name of the wolf which caused eclipses by
pursuing and temporarily catching the sun. He was the son of the
giantess Jarnwidr. See Hati.
(An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper,
1876).
... The
personality of the sun and moon shews itself moreover in a fiction that
has wellnigh gone the round of the world. These two, in their
unceasing unflagging career through the void of heaven, appear to be in
flight, avoiding some pursuer. A pair of wolves are on their
track, Sköll dogging the steps of the sun, Hati of
the moon; they come of a giant race, the mightiest of whom, Mânagarmr
(moon-dog), apparently but another name for Hati, is sure some day to
overtake and swallow the moon. (Teutonic Mythology, Grimm,
1883)
