In Germanic mythology, Thor (/θɔːr/; from Old Norse: Þórr [ˈθoːrː]) is a hammer-wielding God associated with lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, the protection of mankind, hallowing, and fertility.
Thor is often called the God of Thunder. This is not wrong, as his name means “Thunder,” but his role was bigger than that. Thor was a sky god, like Zeus or Marduk, and the god of weather. Thor was the son of Odin and Fyorgyn (also called Jord, as well as other names).
