Swedish term or phrase: kredens
han är stark han äter
gjutjärn rensam kredens och virvlande faggor när vi spelar
på iliad

Translation of the words faggor and iliad would be appreciated. There is no context, this is like a stream of consciousness.

spela Iliad
playing ancient Greek soldiers


Explanation:
Very difficult text but after research it may be that 'Iliad' refers to the stories of Iliad by Homer

In which case, 'spela Iliad' could mean 'playing ancient Greek Soldiers'

The writer does say the other person is strong

virvlande faggor could be like 'swirling rags"
utslitet klädesplagg, trasa; but have look yourself -- real tough.
