 | THOR
GREAT GOD OF THUNDER
|
In Norse mythology, Thor was the god of war, thunder and strength, and
son of Odin. Thor destroyed the enemies of the gods with his magic hammer.
It was he who chased away the frosts and called gentle winds and warm spring
rains to release the earth from its bondage of ice and snow. He was also
the god of the household and of the common people. He even married Sif
a pesant woman. The lightning's flash was his mighty hammer, Mjolnir, hurled
in battle with the frost giants, and the rolling thunder was the rumble
of his fiery chariot. here.
