Útgarða-Loki

Skrymir is a figure from Norse mythology, appearing in the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, both of which are primary sources for Norse mythology. He is a giant (or jötunn in Old Norse) who encounters the god Thor and his companion Loki on their journey to the land of the giants, Utgard. Skrymir is notable for his immense size and strength, as well as his role in a series of tests and illusions that Thor must endure. The name Skrymir is often translated as "the loud-sounding one" or "the resounding one" in Old Norse. In Hebrew, this could be translated as הַמְּשַׁמֵּעַ הַקּוֹל (ha-m'shaméa ha-kol). In modern Icelandic, the name is spelled similarly, Skrýmir, while in Old English, it might be rendered as Scrym. Skrymir's character serves as a significant antagonist in the myth, embodying the challenges and deceptions that the gods must overcome in their encounters with the giants.
