The Giant Who Stole Mjölnir — And the Wedding That Won It Back | Myth in Words

How did Thor get his hammer? This is the true Norse myth behind Mjölnir — stolen by the giant king Thrym and buried eight leagues beneath the earth. The price to win it back? A wedding. Thor himself must walk down the aisle in disguise, with Loki as his bridesmaid, to fool the giants of Jötunheimr and reclaim the greatest weapon in the universe. From the morning the sky went quiet, to Freyja's feathered cloak, the desperate council of the gods, the wedding feast where Thor's enormous appetite nearly blew his cover — to the moment Mjölnir is laid in the bride's lap and returns to its master's hand. The full Norse mythology story of how Thor got his hammer, told like never before.
