HEIMDAL, or HEIMDALL

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 213 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HEIMDAL, or HEIMDALL , in Scandinavian mythology, the keeper of the
gates
  of
Heaven
  and the guardian of the rainbow
bridge
 
Bifrost
 . He is the son of Odin by nine virgins, all sisters. He is called " the god with the
golden
  teeth." He lives in the stronghold of Himinsbiorg at the end of
Bifrost
 . His
chief
  attribute is a vigilance which nothing can escape. He sleeps less than a
bird
 ;
sees
  at night and even in his sleep; can hear the grass, and even the
wool
  on a lamb's back grow. He is armed with Gjallar, the magic
horn
 , with which he will summon the gods on the day of judgment.
