Editing Fenrir (section)

====''Gylfaginning'' chapters 13 and 25====
In chapter 13 of the ''Prose Edda'' book ''Gylfaginning'', Fenrir is first mentioned in a stanza quoted from ''Völuspá''.<ref name=FAULKES15>Faulkes (1995:15).</ref> Fenrir is first mentioned in prose in chapter 25, where the enthroned figure of [[High, Just-As-High, and Third|High]] tells [[Gylfi|Gangleri]] (described as King [[Gylfi]] in disguise) about the god [[Týr]]. High says that one example of Týr's bravery is that when the [[Æsir]] were luring Fenrir (referred to here as ''Fenrisúlfr'') to place the fetter [[Gleipnir]] on the wolf, Týr placed his hand within the wolf's mouth as a pledge. This was done at Fenrir's own request because he did not trust that the Æsir would let him go. As a result, when the Æsir refused to release him, he bit off Týr's hand at a location "now called the wolf-joint" (the [[wrist]]), causing Týr to be one-handed and "not considered to be a promoter of settlements between people."<ref name=FAULKES25>Faulkes (1995:25).</ref>
