The day of Odin's great mid-summer celebration, Bragi needed a rhyme for his new poem, and went to the Dwarves, to a Mountain Giant and to Mermaidens daughters of Aegir, but was driven off each time to seek verses amid the branches of Yggdrasill.[2]
He went there in the form of an eagle, but was trapped in the world-tree's foliage and was targeted by a snake, but was saved by the Warriors Three who had inquired on his disappearance on Idunn's behalf.[2]
