Thor is known for a lot of other things, but ironically these three feats of strength are some of the most impressive. The cat that Thor attempted to lift was in actuality the world serpent, Jörmungandr, and everyone was terrified when Thor was able to lift the paw of this “cat”, for Thor had actually held the great serpent up to the sky. The old woman Thor wrestled was in fact Old Age (Elli, Old Norse “old age”), and there is no one whom old age cannot bring down. Útgarða-Loki concludes by telling Thor that it would be better for “both sides” if they did not meet again. Upon hearing this, Thor takes hold of his hammer and swings it at Útgarða-Loki but he is gone and so is his castle. Only a wide landscape remains
Thor’s drinking horn had actually reached to the ocean and with his drinks he lowered the ocean level (resulting in tides).
Further feats of the almighty Thor:
– do drag
– fail to cross a river
– succeed in bringing a goat back to life, but fail to heal its broken bone
Honestly, why can’t the bible have any great stories like those?
This is thunder god slander
Pov of loki ig
Some context for people that doesn’t know that “cat” is actually the world serpent, yes THE world serpent that surrounds the planet and bites its own tail
That horn? Connected to the ocean, mf drank THE OCEAN
And the old lady? Death, he actually danced with death, some interpretations say he actually wrestle with her but it sounds a lot cooler saying he danced with death
Either way I know it’s a meme but not everyone knows mythology so figure id drop the context cause it’s one of my favorite parts of Norse myths and this all happens in one tale btw, so to add even more merit to that this all happens in the same day
(However I think at least one of this feats wasn’t done by him but by one of his servants companions, I don’t remember honestly)
And people gave up this for Jesus? Damn.
