Thor's Journey to Utgard — Northern Europe & Baltic (Lesser-Known) | Bedtime World Tour
Tonight we travel to Iceland, and to the strongest person in Norse myth, who spends one long evening being beaten at everything. Thor cannot open a food bag. He cannot drain a drinking horn. He cannot lift a grey cat off the floor, and he cannot throw an old woman in a wrestling match. Only at the gate the next morning, on his way out, does the king of Utgard tell him what he was actually wrestling — and what happened to the sea while he was drinking.
A world folktale every night, told to help you fall asleep. Follow the show so tomorrow night's story finds you too.
