Gullfaxi is a horse in Norse mythology. Its name means Golden mane. It was originally owned by Hrungnir, and was later given to Magni by Thor as a reward for lifting off the leg of Hrungnir, which lay over the unconscious Thor and strangled him: 'And I will give thee,' he said, 'the horse Gold-Mane, which Hrungnir possessed.' Then Odin spake and said that Thor did wrong to give the good horse to the son of a giantess, and not to his father. —Skáldskaparmál (17)[1] Guldfaxe is equally fast on land, in the air and on the water, but not quite as fast as Sleipnir, Odin's horse. Folk taleGullfaxi is also the name of a horse in the modern Icelandic folk-tale The Horse Gullfaxi and the Sword Gunnfoder collected by Jón Árnason, translated into German by {{Interlanguage link multi|Josef Poestion|2=de|3=Josef Poestion|preserve=1}}, then rendered into English and included in the Crimson Fairy Book (1903) compiled by Andrew Lang.
