Thor, The God of Thunder See also Scandinavian for Scandinavian Mythological Characters, Thor is the most popular god among the Scandinavians. He is the thunder powerhouse. He has been portrayed as unrelentingly pursuing his foes, his mountain-crushing, thunderous hammer Mjolnir in his hand. In the mythology, Thor lays waste to numerous Jotnar (demons) who are foes to the gods or humanity, and is married to the beautiful, golden-haired goddess Sif. Once Loki cut her golden hair. The god Thor wades through a river while the Aesir ride across the bridge Bifrost. Thor rides the chariot drawn by two gigantic, long-haired goats - Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjoster. Thor's Hammer His hammer weighs as much as a herd of 300-billion elephants' which means only someone really strong could lift it. Of course, it also means it would be changing Earth's gravitational field..." That is why a belt called Megingjord, and iron gloves called Jaarngreiper, were used to lift it. Loki Helps Thor At a banquet Prymr holds in honor of the impending union, Prymr takes the bait. Unable to contain his passion for his new maiden with long, blond locks (and broad shoulders), as Prymer approaches the bride by placing Mjolnir on "her" lap, Thor rips off his disguise and destroys Prymr and his giant cohorts.
