#Mythology -Gefion, a tough viking goddess

Associated to fertility and ploughing practices, with references made to her as a virgin. A story of asking for land to a Swedish king (Gylfi) who said she could get whatever she could plough in a day. She was helped by her sons (the bulls) and ploughed what today is the island of Zealand (where Copenhagen is)… amazing... it is good to be a... queen, obviously. The impressive sculpture is in Copenhagen and a fountain runs from its top during the Summer.
