017 THORS FIRST GIANT-SLAYING

Vingnir and Hlora planned to betray Odin's trust and kill Thor,
being awed by his overwhelming size and power, which grew every day.

But Thor realized their intentions, and killed the pair, while still
a lad.

He returned to Asgard and took with him the magical stone-
hammer, which belonged to Vingnir.

At that time the clan of giants
living in Jötunheim was quite numerous, and they were divided into many powerful families (ätter).
