Frothi
Hyndluljoth names this figure as Hledis’s father in Ottar’s lineage.
Overview
Frothi is not the protagonist of an independent heroic episode in Hyndluljoth, but the Hledis’s father whom Hyndla names while tracing Ottar’s descent. The record stays within a readable close-kin line, showing how the poem treats ancestry as proof in a wager rather than turning one night’s recital into the sole genealogy across traditions.
