The Story of Frithiof is a Swedish epic poem written by Esaias Tegner and first published in 1825. The poem tells the story of Frithiof, a legendary hero from Norse mythology, and his love for Ingeborg, the daughter of King Bele. Frithiof and Ingeborg grew up together and fell in love, but their love was forbidden because Frithiof was not of noble birth. When Ingeborg was promised to another man, Frithiof set out on a journey to prove himself worthy of her hand in marriage. Along the way, he faced many challenges, including battles with sea monsters and rival warriors. Eventually, Frithiof was able to prove his worth and win the love of Ingeborg.
