(Norse mythology) god of thunder and rain and farming; pictured as wielding a hammer emblematic of the thunderbolt; identified with Teutonic Donar
God of thunder and lightning, one of the best loved gods by man Thursday is named after him (Thor's Day)
God of thunder Huge, red-bearded, red-eyed, powerful His weapon is the magic hammer Mjollnir, which is augmented by a magic belt which doubles Thor's strength, and iron gloves with which Thor grips Mjollnir In some ways Odin's rival, Thor is the god of law and order, the champion of the people Unlike Odin, Thor will keep faith Oaths were sworn in Thor's name, which no sane man would ever do with Odin When Christianity came to Iceland, the other gods surrendered meekly, but Thor fought to the bitter end The Hammer is Thor's sacred sign and is the most common image in Nordic art The worship of Thor survived well into the Christian age; little silver hammers were often made in the smith's shop along with crosses and crucifixes
In Norse myth, THOR was the son of ODIN He is identified with his thunderous "hammer" which could strike a target from a distance and return like lighting See ASGARD
Thor, a son of Odin, was the greatest of the Norse gods None were more feared or hated by the giants (the enemies of the gods) Thor's already impressive physical abilities were augmented by magical items including his war hammer, named Mjolnir (or Miolnir), and his iron gloves Mjolnir was given to Thor by dwarves who were trying to impress the gods with their ability to create magical items As feared and hated as he was by the giants, Thor often traveled into Jotunheim - the giants' homeland - to meet with and attend feasts held by them Many of the stories of the Norse gods told of Thor's adventures into Jotunheim Thor was killed by Jormungand - a serpent which was so long that it wrapped all of the way around the world Thursday was named after Thor
