Description

Thor is the Norse God of thunder. He is a son of Odin and Jord, and one of the most powerful Gods. He is married to Sif, a fertility Goddess. His mistress is the giantess Jarnsaxa ("iron cutlass"), and their sons are Magni and Modi and his daughter is Thrud. Thor is helped by Thialfi, his servant and the messenger of the Gods. Thor was usually portrayed as a large, powerful man with a red beard and hair. Despite his ferocious appearance, he was very popular as the protector of both Gods and humans against the forces of evil. He even surpassed his father Odin in popularity because, contrary to Odin, he did not require human sacrifices. The Norse believed that during a thunderstorm, Thor rode through the heavens on his chariot pulled by the goats Tanngrisni ("gap-tooth") and Tanngnost ("tooth grinder"). Lightning flashed whenever he threw his hammer Mjollnir. Donar is his Teutonic equivalent, while the Romans see in him their God Jupiter. Thursday is named after him. Thank you for taking the time to look and comment, I truly appreciate it

James, you did a great job on 'Thor'. I also like the submitted gods before (Poseidon, Zeus, Ares, Hathor). Will you continue with the Norse Pantheon?? I'd like to see Odin (Wotan) and Freya. Any chance? Hartmut from Germany Voted excellent!
