Thank you for telling this story in your manner of speech. I recently listened to what I think was the poem in its original text and it was really hard to follow and know what was going on 😖. This was way easier to follow and see the imagery for. ❤I appreciate you making this. thank you. I really needed that. I've loosely heard of this story, but never heard the whole thing before. Thanks for doing this.
This cross-dressing motif is found elsewhere in Indo-European myths: Hercules, Achilles, Arjuna, Krishna. Given how manly these figures often are I've sometimes wondered if this had some kind of initiatory origin, similar perhaps to the Nymphus grade found in Mithraism?
This is honestly one of my favorite Norse stories, simply because of the situation.
It is a fine piece of poetry, I agree.

The goofy voices were a nice touch
Is there any other poems you would like to hear read from the Poetic Edda?
I'll have to go and unearth my copy...I'm quite sure that I'll find one
Yes. A begginning of love story between Frey and Gerda xD
Just trying to imagine a more unlikely bride than Thor in a dress...🎇😁🎇
Yes, it's fair to say their humour was a little different to ours! :)

I thought Thrym was practically blind and mistook Loki for Freya
Jutland.. Jotunheim.. I wonder if it history, mythology or propaganda.
There are arguments for all of those, and thank you for watching
