The same tale of how the god won the sun for his wife appears in the mediaeval German King Ruther (in which title Dr.
Ryuberg sees Hrutr, a name of the ram-headed god).
The story of "Othar" (Od) and "Syritha" (Sigrid) is obviously that of Freya and her lover.

She has been stolen by the giants, owing to the wiles of her waiting-maid, Loke's helper, the evil witch Angrbode.

Od seeks her, finds her, slays the evil giant who keeps her in the cave; but she is still bewitched, her hair knotted into a hard, horny mass, her eyes void of brightness.

Unable to gain recognition he lets her go, and she is made by a giantess to herd her flocks.

Again found by Od, and again refusing to recognise him, she is let go again.
