    the eddic poem Völuspá contains a reference to the rearing of Fenrir in the mysterious wood Járnvid, as well as to an unnamed wolf that devours Odin, and another (or perhaps the same) that swallows the sun and moon. [--] It is possible that all these wolves are one, namely Fenrir, but Snorri, charasteristically, is careful to make distinctions, naming the wolves who devour the sun and moon as Sköll and Hati Hródvitnisson, respectively (English)
