Hymir's cauldron part 4

And this time the giant would not admit, that Thor has great strength. He felt sorry to part with such a precious vessel. So he invented another attempt. Namely he demanded, for god to break his crystal cup. As threw a vessel against the stone wall of the mansion and pierced it right through, but the cup remained intact. He tried three times with the same result. Then Hymir's concubine secretly approached him and whispered to him, that he would throw a cup at the head of a giant, his skull was harder than the toughest rock. The cup shattered into thousands of tiny pieces, which aroused a severe regret in the heart of Thursy. Hymir now pointed to the great cauldron, who stood by the stove and allowed the guests to take it. Twice Tyr tried to move him away, but he lacked strength. So Thor bent down and pulled so hard, until the legs pierced the floor. Having thrown the cauldron over his head in the shape of a huge helmet, he left the room briskly, and mighty chains, on which the boiler was hung over the fire, he was ringing around his heels.

So they set off along the seashore, heading straight towards the Agira headquarters. Suddenly the mountains shook and a hail of rock fragments began to rain down around them, but doing no harm. Thor looked back and saw a crowd of Thurs chasing after them, headed by Hymir. Giant, unable to get over the loss and humiliation, he called his compatriots and set off, to take vengeance on the Aces. However, he was punished for this severely. Thor, seeing a crowd rushing at him, he threw his murderous hammer so forcefully, that he killed all Thurss in one fell swoop. Now they carried the cauldron to Agir without hindrance, and he received them more graciously than before, grateful for such a generous gift. And they agreed, that every winter from now on the gods will feast at the court of Agir, and they will not run out of beer.
