What is the meaning of the name Thor?
The name Thor comes from old Norse meaning "Thunderer". Thor was the son of Odin. He was the Norse god of strength, thunder and war. He wielded a mighty hammer named Miolnir, which he employed sparingly. It was said that when Thor became angry or frustrated he would strike the ground with Miolnir. This would produce the sound we know as thunder. In his honour, Thor was granted his own day of reverence by those who worshipped him... Thor's day. Over the years, Thor's day became what we know today as Thursday.It is the Old Norse word for thunder.
When did Thor get his powers?
Thor gained his power, power of Lightning, when he was granted as the king of Asgard. He then was questioned by his brother, which asked "Why hadn't I been chosen king, brother?". Thor answered, "Because you were adopted". That is how the brother became the evil, and nasty one.
What Greek god is Thor related to?
Thor was not "related" to any Greek gods. He was a Norse god and his lineage was therefore of other Norse gods. In Greek mythology, Thor's counterpart was Zeus. Zeus was wielder of the lightning bolt and otherwise known as "the ground shaker". When he became angry it was said the sky and ground would tremble with the echo of his voice. Similarly, when Thor became angry he would strike the ground with his giant hammer, Miolnir, which produced the same effect. Today we know that effect as Thunder.
