Editing Dagr (section)

===''Poetic Edda''===
Dagr is mentioned in stanzas 12 and 25 of the poem ''[[Vafþrúðnismál]]''. In stanza 24, the god [[Odin]] (disguised as "[[List of names of Odin|Gagnráðr]]") asks the [[jötunn]] [[Vafþrúðnir]] from where the day comes, and the night and its tides. In stanza 25, Vafþrúðnir responds:
<blockquote>
:Delling hight he who the day's father is,
:but night was of Nörvi born;
:the new and waning moons the beneficent powers created,
:to count the years for men.<ref name=THORPE13>Thorpe (1907:13).</ref>
In stanza 12, the horse Skinfaxi, his mane gleaming, is stated by Vafþrúðnir as "drawing day to mankind".<ref name=LARRINGTON41>Larrington (1996:41).</ref>
</blockquote>
In ''[[Sigrdrífumál]]'', after the [[valkyrie]] [[Sigrdrífa]] is woken from her sleep curse by the hero [[Sigurd]], Sigurd asks her name, and she gives him a "memory-drink" of a [[drinking horn]] full of [[mead]], and then Sigrdrifa says a [[prayer]]. The first verse of this prayer features a reference to the "sons of Dagr" and the "female relative" (''[[:wikt:nipt#Old Norse|nipt]]'', "niece" or "daughter") of Nótt.

In the poem ''[[Hrafnagaldr Óðins]]'', the appearance of Dagr and his horse and chariot are described:
<blockquote>
:The son of Delling
:urged on his horse
:adorned with
:precious jewels.
:Over [[Midgard|Mannheim]] shines
:the horse's mane,
:the steed Dvalin's deluder
:dew in his chariot.<ref name=THORPE31-32>Thorpe (1866:31—32).</ref>
