Bragi

Long-bearded Norse god of poetry and skalds. He appears in the 13th century Gylfaginning, the first part of the Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson.

One is called Bragi: he is renowned for wisdom, and most of all for fluency of speech and skill with words. He knows most of skaldship, and after him skaldship is called bragr, and from his name that one is called bragr-man or -woman, who possesses eloquence surpassing others, of women or of men. His wife is Iðunn (Idunn).

Skalds were totally poets, and while it's not clear if they also played music, Bragi is traditionally depicted with a harp.
