All this time Gialp and Greip did not appear, and Loki also had taken himself away, to be out of danger when the hour of Thor's death should come.
Why, that Gialp and Greip, the giant's daughters, had hidden under the seat of the chair, and had lifted it up on their backs to crush Thor against the roof!

In regard to the birth and rank of Thjazi's father among the mythic powers, the following statements in poems from the heathen time are to be observed.
Thus Thjazi's mother is the giantess Greip, who, according to Skáldskaparmál 26, is a daughter of the giant Geirröður and a sister of Gjalp.
One of these sisters, and, so far as we can see, Greip, is, in Thorsdrapa, called meinsvarans hapts arma farmur, "the embrace of the arms of the perjurous hapt".

But even a little bit of crack-related fighting among friends is nothing compared to the ire stirred up through a loss of parking.
