EspañolÞRYMR
:''For the moon of Saturn named after Þrymr, see 'Thrymr (moon)'.''
----
In Norse mythology, King 'Þrymr' (''Thrymr'', ''Thrym''; "uproar") of the Jotuns (frost giants) stole Mjollnir, Thor's hammer, to extort the gods into giving him Freyja as his wife. His kingdom was called Jötunheimr, but according to Hversu Noregr byggdist, it was the Swedish province Värmland.
Þrymr was foiled in his scheme by the knowledge of Heimdall, the cunning of Loki, and the sheer violence of Thor. In fact, mighty Thor, son of Odin, later killed Thrym, his sister, and all of his giant kin, which had been present at the wedding reception. The poem ''Þrymskviða'' gives the details of how Thor got his hammer back.
Bergfinnr is a son of Thrymr, the Giant of Vermland.
Þrymr aapears in the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' roleplaying game as Thrym, the god of frost giants.
Thrym also appears as the antagonist in the Hellboy novel 'Bones of Giants'.
