Thor

Thor, ??rr (ON), ?unor (OE), Donar or Donner (German) is the red-haired and bearded god of thunder in Norse Mythology and more generally Germanic mythology. He is the son of Odin and Jord. While Odin is the god of the powerful and aristocratic, Thor is much more the god of the common man. During Ragnar?k, Thor will kill and be killed by J?rmungandr. He lived in the hall of Bilskirnir in Thrudheim.

Thor features strongly in the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson, where Thor's many conflicts with the race of giants are a main source of plots. As Snorri portrays him, Thor is a straightforward god, not necessarily the wisest or most intelligent; for instance, he is thoroughly made a fool of by the mysterious Utgardaloki and his magic spells. However in the Codex Regius, the primary source of the Poetic Edda, Thor outwits the dwarf, Alv?ss, in the Alv?ssm?l.
