Thrym’s Lay
in the Poetic Edda
Thor was troubled when upon awakening one morning he
learned that his mighty hammer Mjölnir didn’t have. His shaggy mind and the
beard quivered because he, the very first-born of Mother-Earth arrived at around for this.
His first words were: "Loki, pay attention to me! I’ve endured a loss of revenue beyond
perception. My hammer continues to be stolen!"
They hurried to Freyja’s home, and that he stated: "Freyja, are you going to lend me your
feather-robe so will be able to find and retrieve my hammer?"
Freyja stated: "I’d create it for you, even when it were created of silver or gold.Inch
Loki then travelled, with whirring down, from the house of the Æsir towards the land of
the giants.
Thrym, the King from the Thurse, [The Thurse were a race of giants] was
located on a mound, pleating golden halters for his hounds and smoothing the
manes of his mares.
Thrym stated: "How would be the Æsir, and just how would be the alfs, and just what brings you to definitely the
land from the giants?"
Loki stated: "It isn’t well using the Æsir, nor using the alfs. Are you currently the one that
hid Thor’s hammer?"
Thrym stated: "Yes, I hid Thor’s hammer a complete eight leagues underneath the ground.
And no-one can have it from me unless of course he brings Freyja here to become my bride."
Loki then travelled, with whirring down, from the house of the giants towards the land
from the Æsir. Thor met him within the central courtyard, and that he stated:
What great news is it necessary to report? Have your time and efforts been rewarded? Let me know,
before you light, your learning. A sitting individual is frequently
to forget things, along with a laying person lies. [The experience the 2 meanings of "to lie"
also exists within the original]
Loki stated: "My efforts happen to be rewarded. Thrym, the King of
the Thurse, has your hammer. But no-one can have it from him unless of course he brings him
Freyja to become his bride-to-be.Inch
They hurried to Freyja’s home, and Thor stated: "Freyja, wear bridal
linen! Us are likely to the land from the giants."
Freyja increased angry and foamed with rage. The whole hall shook together with her rage. The
necklace from the Brisings [The necklace from the Brisings can also be pointed out in
Beowulf] broke apart. She stated: "I would need to function as the man-craziest of
to choose you to definitely the land from the giants."
All of the gods and goddesses from the Æsir hurriedly put together in the Factor to
discuss the way they might retrieve Thor’s hammer.
Heimdall, the fairest from the gods and among the prophetic Vanir, foretold the
future:
"We shall dress Thor in bridal linen, and decorate him using the necklace from the
Brisings. Allow him to put on a ladies clothes having a bundle of housewife’s keys
dangling about him with bridal jewels at his breast as well as on his mind."
Thor, the mighty god, stated, "the Æsir will call me cowardly and womanish basically
allow myself to become outfitted in bridal linen."
Then Loki, the boy of Laufey, stated: "Save your valuable words, Thor. The giants will quickly
dominate Asgard if you don’t retrieve your hammer from their store.Inch
So that they outfitted Thor in women’s clothes and bridal linen and adorned him with
the necklace from the Brisings, having a bundle of housewife’s keys dangling about
him with bridal jewels at his breast as well as on his mind.
Then Loki, the boy of Laufey, stated: "I’ll be your servant girl, and the pair of
us will visit the land from the giants."
The goats were driven home and tied with ropes to operate together. The mountain tops
burst and also the earth broke into flames because the boy of Odin rode towards the land from the
giants.
Then Thrym, the King from the Thurse, stated: "Fully stand up, you giants, and canopy the
benches! Bring me Freyja, the daughter of Njörd from Noatun, to become my spouse!Inch
Within my yard I’ve cows with golden horns, pure black oxen, everything a huge
could want I’ve riches and treasures Freyja alone is which i lack.
Your evening they introduced ale towards the giant’s table, and Sif’s husband ate an
entire ox, eight salmon, and all sorts of baked products which they introduced for that
women, after which he drank three measures of mead.
Then Thrym, the King from the Thurse, stated: "Maybe you have seen a bride bite more
dramatically? I have not seen a bride bite more broadly, nor have I seen a
maiden drink more mead."
The maiden rapidly taken care of immediately the giant’s words: "Freyja am eagerly
waiting for the land of giants that they ate nothing for eight full nights!"
He peeked beneath her veil, attempting to hug her, however leaped to the rear of
the hall having a single bound. "How come Freyja’s eyes so terrifying? They appear to
be aglow with fire!"
The maiden rapidly taken care of immediately the giant’s words: "Freyja am eagerly
waiting for the land of giants that they didn’t sleep for eight full nights."
The giant’s poor sister joined and pleaded with for any bridal gift: "If you would like my
friendship and love, then please produce individuals red-gold rings out of your arm."
Then Thrym, the King from the Thurse, stated, "Bring the hammer to ensure that we might
consecrate the bride to be. Lay Mjölnir in her own lap, in the hands of Vár [Vár is really a
goddess who listens to and enforces oaths and contracts], and let’s be
consecrated like a pair.
Hlórithi’s [Hlórithi is yet another reputation for Thor] heart chuckled within him
as he saw his hammer. First he struck lower Thrym, the King from the Thurse, and
he then slew all of the giant’s kin.
Also, he wiped out the giant’s poor sister who’d pleaded with for any bridal gift. Rather
of shillings she received blows and rather of rings, a hammer hit. And therefore
Odin’s boy retrieved his hammer.
