Between Two Ravens: A Norse Mythology Podcast8 Huhti 2022

S1E13: Thor the Fisherman

In Season 1 Episode 13, we present the story of Thor the Fisherman. It is one of the few myths well represented in both Prose Edda (Gylfaginning chapter 48) and in the Poetic Edda - Hymiskviða. There is a lot of interesting nuance to the differences between these versions and the poem is packed with kennings.
We discuss our personal theories on the mythology and psychology of this story, and gain some more understanding of the Norse Mythological figures Aegir, Njord, Tjalfi, Tyr, and Loki.
Outro - Die Forelle by Franz Schubert
