Snorri Sturluson (c. 1179-1241)
“A woman should be referred to in terms of all the types of female attire, gold and precious stones, and ale, wine and other beverages that she pours or serves; likewise in terms of receptacles for ale and all the things that it is fitting for her to do or provide.”
- From The Prose Edda (Skaldskaparmal, section 10) by Snorri Sturluson, translated by Jesse Byock (Penguin Classics, 2005).
