Thor: The Giant King Who Stole Mjolnir and Demanded Freyja as His Bride | Norse Myth Sleep Story

Thor, the strongest of the Norse gods, gets his hammer Mjolnir because Loki cuts off Sif's golden hair and bets his own head that no dwarf can beat the treasures made to replace it. Thor uses the hammer against Hrungnir, the strongest of the giants, in a duel at the border, and keeps a dwarf named Alvis talking until sunrise when he comes to marry Thor's daughter. Then the giant king Thrym steals the hammer and demands the goddess Freyja as his bride, so Thor goes to the wedding himself, in a bridal veil, with Loki dressed as his maid. Based on Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda (Skaldskaparmal and Gylfaginning, translated by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur) and two poems of the Poetic Edda, the Lay of Thrym and the Ballad of Alvis (translated by Henry Adams Bellows), with Haustlong for Thor's ride to the duel.
