The Lay of Thrym [ep. #42]

I’ve taken the liberty to edit the ancient Lay of Thrym, a poem from the Poetic Edda, a hallmark of Norse mythology. Unlike other Eddic stories that have been Christianized to some extent, this poem has retained its true heathen character. It is a story of loss (of masculinity), worries, guilt, shame, a sense of duty, and ultimate victory over a race of greedy trolls (the giants).
