Reading Notes: Norse Mythology (Part 3)
For this third part of Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, I read through Chapters 9 & 10: Freya's Unusual Wedding & The Mead of Poets.
Freya's Unusual Wedding begins with Thor discovering his hammer is missing. Mjölnir is the hammer of the gods. Thor goes to Loki for help in finding who took his hammer. Loki eventually discovers that a giant had stolen it and would only return it to Thor in exchange for Freya's hand in marriage. The gods all gather to decide what should be done about returning the hammer of the gods. Freya is very against marrying this awful giant, rightfully so. Loki comes up with a plan of dressing Thor as a bride and putting a veil over his face to pretend that he is Freya coming to marry the giant. Loki disguises himself as a handmaiden and off they travel to meet the giant. Hilarity ensues as Thor pretends to be a graceful bride and Loki has to keep covering for his mistakes, especially during the feast. This story was very entertaining and it would be so much fun to work with this story to make it my own!
