This week on MYTH, it's one of my all-time favorite stories about mighty Thor. You'll discover that you should be more careful about where your magic hammer is, that some gods can really rock a dress, and that you shouldn't offer up someone else's hand in marriage to solve your own problem. Then, in Gods and Monsters, the children of Loki are going to put the fear of Ragnarok into the gods. Source: Norse Mythology
