Gefion was the patroness of virgins, a goddess of fertility and abundance. She was also endowed with the ability to foresee the future, making her a figure of great wisdom and influence. She married one of Odin’s sons and gave rise to the royal dynasty of Denmark.

She had four giant sons, whom she transformed into oxen and harnessed to a plow after the king of Sweden promised her as much land as she could plow in one night. This demonstrates her cleverness and power in achieving her goals.
