Bolthorn

Bolthorn (Bölþorn) var en jotun i nordisk mytologi. I Håvamål i Den eldre Edda (den poetiske edda) omtales han som far til Bestla som var gift med Bor. Gjennom Bestla ble han morfar til Odin og hans brødre Vilje og Ve. Dette nevnes også av Snorre Sturlason i Den yngre Edda[1]

Nie tryllesongar fekk eg
av den fræge son til
Boltorn, far til Bestla;
og drikke eg fekk
av den dyre mjøden, aust opp av Odrere.[2]

En tolkning av dette verset fra Håvamål er at Bolthorn også er far til guden Mime.
