    Yeah, I've always loved this story. I like how metaphysical these stories get, like Loki and Thor are fighting personifications of abstract concepts.

    I've also thought it's interesting how many stories there are of the Norse gods losing in battles, or getting tricked by something. Like when Thor meets the ferryman Hárbarðr, Thor doesn't defeat him, he sulks away in shame after getting insulted repeatedly.

      "My name is Hárbarðr! I seldom lie about that."

      -Odin, lying about his name, like always.

      I love these stories lmao
