Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Thor

    Who stole Mjollnir?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Thrym. Loki helped get Mjollnir back. Hlorithi is another name for Thor. For more information on the theft of Thor's hammer, see question 10.

    Did Thor have a stepson?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Yes. Sif's son, Ull, was the god of justice and duelling, and the patron god of agriculture. Ull was the second husband of Skadi, the personification of winter (sometimes called the goddess of skis or snowshoes).

    Who was the only person (or god, or giant) in the universe stronger than Thor?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      His son, Magni. Magni was the god of strength, and the only being other than Thor that could weild Mjollnir. He will survive Ragnarok and inherit the hammer. Modi was the god of battle wrath and was worshipped by the beserks.

    Did Thor require human sacrifice in his worship?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      No. This is one of the reasons Thor surpassed Odin in popularity. Odin required human sacrifices (in myth, he needs warriors on his side to fight with him at the Ragnarok), while Thor did not (presumably because he was practically a one-man army).

    How did Thor get Mjollnir back from the giant who stole it?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Dressed up as a girl and pretend to marry the giant. To regain his honour lost by pretending to be female, Thor slew the giant afterwards.

    Who was Thrud (Thor's daughter) promised to by the gods?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Alvis (a dwarf). When Thor found out, he challenged Alvis to a test of knowledge. Thor drew the contest out until dawn, when the dwarf was turned to stone by the rising sun.

    What is Thor's belt of strength called?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Megingjardir. Megingjardir doubles the wearer's strength, allowing Thor to wield Mjollnir.

    What bridge is Thor the only god forbidden to cross?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Bifrost . Bifrost connects Asgard to Yggdrasil's root in Midgard. Thor is not allowed to cross it for fear of him destroying it unwittingly with his thunder, lightning, and heat.

    How many children did Thor have?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      4. Thor's wife, Sif, bore him the sisters Lora and Thrud. The giantess Jarsaxa bore him the two sons Magni and Modi, who will survive Ragnarok.

    At Ragnarok, Thor kills Jormungand (a sea serpent) before dying from the monster's venom. True or False?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      t. Ragnarok is the prophesied doom of the gods, which Norse mythology is unique for. Loki brings the gods' downfall, which is helped by the fire and frost giants. Jormungand is one of Loki's sons.

    What god did the Romans associate with Thor?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Jupiter. They were both the god of lightning, and were arguably the most important gods of their cultures.

    What were the goats pulling Thor's chariot called?Thor, Norse Thunder God

      Tanngniost and Tanngrisnir. In English, their names mean Tooth-grinder and Tooth-gnasher.
