Wieland(2 syl.). The famous smith of Scandinavian fable. He and Amilias had a contest of skill in their handicraft. Wieland's sword cleft his rival down to the thighs; but so sharp was the sword, that Amilias was not aware of the cut till he attempted to stir, when he divided into two pieces. This sword was named Balmung. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Wieland from Infoplease:
