'''Haustlöng''' is a
skaldic poem preserved in the
Prose Edda, which quotes two groups of stanzas from it. It is attributed to the Norwegian
skald Þjóðólfr of Hvinir. The poem describes
mythological scenes painted on a shield given to the poet. In the stanzas that have come down to us two such scenes are described:
★ The theft and rescue of
Iðunn.
★
Thor's slaying of
Hrungnir.
Haustlöng is often compared with ''
Húsdrápa'' and ''
Ragnarsdrápa'' which also describe artworks depicting mythological scenes.
