Goðsögnin á egginu, also known in english as "the legend of the egg" is a common tale in norse mythology, wherein Odin (The allfather) gives Frigg (Goddess of wisdom) a golden egg from the rooster Gullinkambi. The tale goes that Odin wanted to marry Frigg, but in order to do that he must find her an offering, to show his love. So he traveled night and day, in search of the perfect gift, and after hearing several stories from both Gods and Jötunn, about a magical and wise rooster called Gullinkambi, he decided to find him. Odin searched for several weeks, and only after the 7th week, would he find Gullinkambi. As he approached the mythical beast, he asked if he could have an egg of the rooster to give to Frigg, whom he loved so badly. Gullinkambi agreed, but gave him the following conditions "Give my egg to Frigg, with a confession of your love, and if she returns it unharmed after one year exactly, it means she loves you back, and your love shall be beautyful, and eternal. If however, she does not want to marry you, she must eat the egg, sunny side up, and she shall be granted eternal joy, and she will meet the love of her life". And so Odin returned to valhalla with the egg, and upon giving it to Frigg, he wait, he waited one year exactly, and when he had waited, and Frigg had returned the egg unharmed, he and Frigg would get married, and they would be happy, and from the egg came their son, Baldr.
