Grodna (Blake)

Grodna (Blake)

In the mythological writings of William Blake, Grodna is the third son of Urizen.

In Chapter VIII of "The Book of Urizen" his birth is described:

:"Grodna rent the deep earth, howling":"Amaz'd; his heavens immense cracks":"Like the ground parched with heat, [...] "

This shows his identification with the classical element Earth, in the alignment of Urizen's four sons.
