Thiazi stops the Æsir from boiling food in this illustration from an 18th century Icelandic manuscript.
In Norse mythology, Thiazi (Old Norse: Þjazi) was a storm giant who kidnapped Idun, the goddess of youth. Without her apples, the Aesir began to grow very old. Loki intervened by changing her into a nut and rescuing her. In Jotunheim, he lived in a palace called Thrymheim.
He had a daughter named Skadi.
This story is related in the Prose Edda and Haustlöng.
