“Simek says that "a more daring, but more meaningful" theory is that the poet took the notion of the Svefnþorn (Old Norse "sleeping thorn"), which appears as an element of some Legendary sagas, and the wall of fire that appears later in Fjölsvinnsmál from myths relating to Brynhildr found in Sigrdrífumál, the Prose Edda, and Völsunga saga, yet personifying the sleeping thorn due to the context.”
