In Norse mythology , Þrivaldi (anglicized as Thrivaldi or Thrivaldi ), whose name means "thrice mighty", is a jotunn killed by Thor .

This fact is mentioned by Snorri Sturluson in the Skaldskaparmal (4) , according to which "killer of Þrivaldi" ( "vegandi Þrivalda" ) is a kenning for Thor. Snorri quotes one stanza by Bragi Boddason , who calls Thor "cleaver apart of Þrivaldi's nine heads " ^[1] ( "sundrkljufr niu hofða Þrivalda" ), and another stanza by Vetrliði Sumarliðason who praises Thor for having battered ( "lemja" ) Þrivaldi.

Þrivaldi is also listed in the þulur .
