giants' home in Norse mythology
Þrymheim
Þrymheim is, in Norse mythology, the home of the giant Þjazi and later of his daughter Skaði, located in Jötunheim, the territory of the giants. Its name is often translated as "crash-home" or "noisy home".
The myth
According to the myth, Þrymheim was the home of the giant Þjazi. He once abducted the goddess Iðunn, whose apples kept the Æsir youthful. Without her, the gods began to age and arranged a rescue. Þjazi was killed while trying to recapture her.
After his death, the house passed to his daughter Skaði, a giantess and goddess, who lived there. During her marriage to Njörðr, the couple separated because Skaði preferred her home in Þrymheim, and she is said to have grown melancholy there after the wedding.
Ancient sources: The Prose Edda, whose manuscripts preserve spelling variants such as Þrumheimr and Þruþheimr.
