Magni and Modi

Magni and Modi were the two sons of Thor and the giantess Jarnsaxa (Iarnsaxa, "Ironwood").

Magni's strength almost matched that of his father. Magni was given the horse called Gullfaxi, "Golden Mane", when he rescued his father from the frost giant Hrungnir. See Giant of Clay.

Apart from his association with his father (Thor) and brother Magni, and that he survived Ragnarok, not much is known about Modi. Magni and Modi survived Ragnarök, inheriting their father's hammer, Mjollnir. Modi appeared to be both a poet and a warrior, in the kennings found in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda.
