Interesting wiki page

The page on crossdressing is strangely interesting, especially as I'd forgotten about the story in which Thor had dressed up as a woman to get Mjolnir back from the Ice Giants (one I remember because, iirc, Thor didn't shave his beard, thereby leading to the classic "insanely masculine looking hero in drag for reasons of McGuffin, is hit upon by inexplicably stupid character much to hero's chagrin and homophobia" routine).

Note reference to leg shaving in one of those legends.

I shall have to get some books on norse folklore out of the library, I had forgotten how interesting they were.

He wore a veil, did
our Thor, as I recall. not very convincing overall, but then Frost Giants aren't known for their braims.
