===Skáldskaparmál=== [[Skáldskaparmál]] tells of how [[Loki]] was once coerced into helping the {{lang|non|jötunn}} [[Þjazi]] abduct [[Iðunn]] who carried her northwards, back to his home in {{lang|non|Jötunheimar}} named [[Þrymheimr]]. Using Freyja's [[fjaðrhamr]], Loki became a hawk and flew to Þjazi's home while the {{lang|non|jötunn}} was away, having rowed out to sea. Upon reaching Iðunn, Loki turned her into a nut and flew away with her in his talons. Þjazi later finds out that Iðunn is gone and he chases after them as an eagle, but is killed as he reached [[Asgard]] when he flies into a fire that the gods made.{{sfn|Sturluson|2018|loc = Skáldskaparmál, chapter 2. The giant Þjazi carried off Iðunn, chapter 3. Loki secured Iðunn and the slaying of Þjazi}}{{sfn|Skáldskaparmál (ON)|loc=2. Þjazi jötunn rænti Iðunni, 3. Loki náði Iðunni ok dráp Þjaza}} Later in Skáldskaparmál, [[Odin]] rides to {{lang|non|Jötunheimar}} on [[Sleipnir]] where he meets the {{lang|non|jötunn}} made of stone [[Hrungnir]] and wagers that no horse there was as good as his. Angered, Hrungnir chases Odin back to [[Asgard]] on his horse [[Gullfaxi]] whereupon the gods invite him to drink with them. Becoming drunk, he boasts that he will perform a number of acts including carrying [[Valhöll|Valhall]] to {{lang|non|Jötunheimar}} and abduct both [[Sif]] and [[Freyja]]. When the gods tired of his bragging, they called for [[Thor]]. Hrungnir claimed that as he was unarmed, Thor would gain no honour from killing him and so challenged him to a fight in {{lang|non|Jötunheimar}}, at his home [[Grjótúnagarðar]]. Thor later meets him there and kills him with [[Mjölnir]], which on its way to Hrungnir, hits the [[Sharpening stone|hone]] that the {{lang|non|jötunn}} was fighting with, shattering it. One of the pieces flies into Thor's head, becoming stuck. To remove it, he went to the [[völva]] [[Gróa]], who began a {{lang|non|[[galdr]]}} to loosen it. While she was singing, Thor told her that he had carried her husband [[Aurvandil]] as he travelled southwards out of {{lang|non|Jötunheimar}} and that he would soon be with her. In her excitement, she forgot the {{lang|non|galdr}} and the shard remained lodged in Thor's head.{{sfn|Sturluson|2018|loc = Skáldskaparmál, chapter 24. About the giant Hrungnir, chapter 25. About the völva Gróa}}{{sfn|Skáldskaparmál (ON)|loc=24. Frá Hrugni jötni, 25. Frá Gróu völu.}}
