The Giant Skrymir and Thor

 * Reason:In Norse mythology, Thor's battles with the giants make up most of the myths surrounding him. This is one of the two or three most famous: Thor, Loki, and Thor's servant, Þjálfi, are tricked by Skrymir's illusions, and tricked into engage in contests against metaphors made flesh; for instance, Þjálfi is challenged to a foot-race against thought, and Thor is asked to pick up a cat, which is (simplifying slightly) the world. See the article on Útgarða-Loki, an alternative name of Skrymir, for full details.
