Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology (9103 words) |
 | When Thjazi, through Loki's deceit, is robbed of Idun, he hastens in wild despair, with the aid of his eagle guise, after the robber, gets his wings burned in the vaferflames kindled around Asgard, falls pierced by the javelins of the gods, and is slain by Thor. |
| Thjazi's pleasure in dragging Loki with him, and making his limbs come in disagreeable contact with objects on their way, was so great that he did not abstain therefrom, before he felt that he had over-exerted himself. |
| Thjazi is called Þórs ofrunni or Þórs ofrúni, "he who made Thor run," or "he who was Thor's friend," and miðjungur, a word the meaning of which it is of no importance to investigate in connection with the question under consideration. |

| She is mentioned in the Prose Edda, the Poetic Edda and Ynglinga saga. |
| When the gods killed her father Thjazi, she journeyed to Ásgard to avenge him but then she agreed that she would have that renounced if they allowed her to choose a husband among them and if they succeeded in making her laugh. |
| The gods allowed her to choose a husband, but she had to choose him only from his feet; she choose Njord because his feet were so beautiful that she thought he was Baldr. |
