| - Ægir had organised a feast, to which he invited all the gods. Among those in attendance include Óðinn, his wife Frigg, Bragi and Iðunn, Týr, Njörðr, Skaði, Freyr (accompanied by his servants Byggvir and Beyla), Freyja, Víðarr, Gefjun, Heimdall and Sif. Thor is not in attendance, as he was journeying (as is mentioned in the prose opening of the poem). Many other Æsir and Vanir were in attendance, as were Ægir's servants Fimafeng and Eldir.

| - Ægir had organised a feast, to which he invited all the gods. Among those in attendance include Óðinn, his wife Frigg, Bragi and Iðunn, Týr, Njörðr, Skaði, Freyr (accompanied by his servants Byggvir and Beyla), Freyja, Víðarr, Gefjun, Heimdall and Sif. Thor is not in attendance, as he was journeying (as is mentioned in the prose opening of the poem). Many other Æsir and Vanir were in attendance, as were Ægir's servants Fimafeng and Eldir. Ægir had Fimafeng and Eldir welcome the guests, who heaped praise upon the two, and Ægir's hall. Loki, in a fit of jealousy, slew Fimafeng and was subsequently driven away by the gods, who then feasted and drank in the hall. Loki, after returning from the woods, confronts Eldir outside the hall, where the poem begins.
