Palnatoki was the subject of works by two influential Danish authors of the early nineteenth century.
Adam Oehlenschläger wrote a tragedy called
Palnatoke in 1809.
N. F. S. Grundtvig wrote a tale called
Palnatoke in 1804 and in 1809–11 a two-volume work of poetic drama,
Optrin af Kæmpelivets Undergang i Nord ("Episodes of the Downfall of the Giants life in the North"), which deals with Palnatoki and
Sigurð and was intended as part of a massive poetic work projected to consist of dramatised historic episodes and retellings of sagas spanning a thousand years from the coming of
Odin and "
Asatru" to Scandinavia through the legends of the Völsungs and Nibelungs until the fall of the Jomsborg with Palnetoki's death, and the victory of
Christianity. ==Notes==
