In Norse mythology’s Ragnarok, which two gods inherit Thor’s hammer Mjolnir?
Answer
Magni and Modi
Answer
Magni and Modi
In Norse mythology’s Ragnarok, Magni and Modi inherit Thor’s hammer Mjolnir. They are Thor’s sons and are listed among the gods who remain after the destruction and renewal of the world.
Magni and Modi are not equally prominent in surviving Norse stories. Magni appears in the tale of Hrungnir, where his great strength helps free Thor after the giant falls on him. Modi is less fully described, but both brothers are associated with the post-Ragnarok generation of gods.
The surviving myths do not present them as replacing Thor in every role. Instead, the tradition specifically connects them with Mjolnir after Ragnarok. They are sometimes confused with Vidar and Vali, who also survive, but those two are Odin’s sons rather than Thor’s heirs to the hammer.
