Name: Gefion was a goddess of fertility and agriculture associated with the plough. According to her saga in the canon of Norse Mythology, she disguised herself as a beggar woman and asked the Swedish King to give her some land. He said that she could have all the land that she could plough in one day and one night. Gefion ploughed so deeply through the western part of Sweden that it was cut off from the mainland and formed a new island, Zealand.
