The Probert Encyclopaedia of Norse Mythology

HEIMDALL

In Norse mythology, Heimdall was the watchman of the bridge, Bifrost, which led to the underworld. He watches for the coming of the frost giants at the Ragnarok, at which time he will sound his horn Gjallar. His sight and hearing are acuter than those of mortals, and nothing can evade his vigilance.
