This early 1900s illustration shows Gripir was the son of King Eylimi, and the brother of Hjordis and maternal uncle of Siguror. He ruled over lands and was of all men wisest and prescient of the future. In the eddic poem Grípir's Prophecy," a youthful Siguror arrives at his hall and is met by a man named Geitir.
