Thor's Journey to Geirrodsgard (1906) by Lorenz Frølich.

In Skáldskaparmál (The Language of Poetry), Thor meets Gjálp as he is trying to wade across the Vimur River; she is causing the river to swell with what appears to be her urine or menstrual fluids as she is standing "astride the river".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Poem quote

Thor eventually reaches Geirrödargardar, the abode of the Шаблон:Lang Geirröðr. He sits on a chair that is lifted up against the roof by Gjálp and Greipa as they are trying to kill him.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Poem quote

Gesta Danorum

Gesta Danorum (Deeds of the Danes) relates a similar story as Thorkillus (Thokil) and his companions are visiting the hall of the dead Geruthus (Geirröðr) when they notice the pierced body of an old man and three dead women with their backs broken. Thokil tells them that the god Thor "has driven a burning ingot though the vitals of Geirrœth" and that the "women have been struck by the force of Thor’s thunderbolt and have paid the penalty for attacking his divinity by having their bodies broken".
