Entombment "Both giants and dwarfs shun the light. If surprised by the breaking forth of day, they become changed to stone. In the Alvismál, Ving-Thor amuses the dwarf Alvis with various questions till daylight, and then coolly says to him, "With great artifices, I tell thee, thou hast been deceived; thou art surprised here, dwarf!" (p. 8, footnote 3). Thorpe, Benjamin. Northern Mythology: Comprising the Principal Popular Traditions and Superstitions of Scandinavia, North Germany, and The Netherlands . Vol 1.
