It was originally owned by Hrungnir , and was later given to Magni by Thor as a reward for lifting off the leg of Hrungnir, which lay over the unconscious Thor and strangled him:
'And I will give thee,' he said, 'the horse Gold-Mane, which Hrungnir possessed.'
Then Odin spake and said that Thor did wrong to give the good horse to the son of a giantess, and not to his father.
—Skáldskaparmál (17 ) [1]
Gullfaxi is equally fast on land, in the air and on the water, but not quite as fast as Sleipnir , Odin's horse.
Folk tale
[ edit ]
Gullfaxi is also the name of a horse in the modern Icelandic folk-tale The Horse Gullfaxi and the Sword Gunnfoder Jón Árnason , translated into German by Josef Poestion [de , then rendered into English and included in the Crimson Fairy Book (1903) compiled by Andrew Lang .
