  === Life Sketch ===
  Waving One"[1]) was a Swedish king of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. He was the son of Fjölner, whom he succeeded as king, and he married Vana of Vanaheimr, probably one of the Vanir. Lured by a dwarf, Sveigðir disappeared into a stone and never came back. He was succeeded by his son Vanlandi.
  
  'Sveigðir, Sveigder or Swegde
  
  Svegdi took the kingdom after his father, and he made a solemn vow to seek Godheim and Odin. He went with twelve men through the world, and came to Turkland, and the Great Svithiod, where he
  
  found many of his connections. He was five years on this journey; and when he returned home to Sweden he remained there for some time.
  He had got a wife in Vanheim, who was called Vana, and their son was Vanlande. Svegdi went out afterwards to seek again for Godheim, and came to a mansion on the east side of Swithiod called Stein, where there was a stone as big as a large house. In the evening after sunset, as Svegdi was going from the drinking-table to his sleeping-room, he cast his eye upon the stone, and saw that a dwarf was sitting under it. Svegdi and his man were very drunk, and they ran towards the stone. The dwarf stood in the door, and called to Svegdi, and told him to come in, and he should see Odin. Svegdi ran into the stone, which instantly closed behind him, and Swegdi never came back.
  Thiodolf of Kvine tells of this: --
  "By Diurnir's elfin race,
  Who haunt the cliffs and shun day's face,
  The valiant Swegde was deceived,
  The elf's false words the king believed.
  The dauntless hero rushing on,
  Passed through the yawning mouth of stone:
  It yawned -- it shut -- the hero fell,
  In Saekmime's hall, where giants dwell."
  The Saga tells of his strange demise, also in a state of drunken-ness like his father. One night when Svegde and his men had been drinking excessively and were about to retire for the night, Svegde looked out and saw a large stone with a dwarf sitting under it. He rushed to the stone where the dwarf opened a door and urged Svegde to enter in order that he could see Odin. Svegde went in and never came out
