The goddess was inconsolable, and Thor sought the insolent offender, intending to crush him with his redoubtable hammer.
Loki was terrified, and sought the dwelling of the Gnomes. These skillful workmen gave him a head of hair which they had spun from the purest gold, and which was so wonderfully wrought that it would attach itself to the head of the wearer, and increase in length like ordinary hair.

From Thor’s name is derived the word Thursday.
