Brief Bio

In Norse mythology, four stags named Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr, and Duraþrór graze on the branches of the world tree, Yggdrasil. According to the Poetic Edda, these stags crane their necks to eat Yggdrasil's leaves, and the dew that gathers in their horns forms the rivers of the world. The stags are often interpreted as representing the four winds or the four seasons.
