He appeared in Hyndlulj the Lay of Hyndla , a poem in the Poetic Edda . In this tale, ttar is said to be very pious to the goddesses. He built a shrine of stones, a h rgr , and on it made many offerings to Freyja. The goddess answered his prayers and went on a journey to help him find his pedigree. Freyja disguised ttar as her boar Hildisvini the Battle Swine and brought him to the giantess Hyndla, a seeress. There, Freyja forced Hyndla to tell ttar about his ancestors, as well as to give him a memory potion so that he would remember all that he was told. It has been theorized that the framework of the poem was created for the 12th century poet to produce a list of mythical heroes names. The poem does not connect much to other poems in the Edda, and is often viewed as a semi historical work. ref The Poetic Edda , Henry A. Bellows, transl.
