Thor, the mighty Norse god of thunder, is one of the most well-known figures in ancient

mythology and has been popularized in modern media through comics and films. In Norse
mythology, Thor is depicted as a powerful deity, the son of Odin, the All-Father, and Jord, the
personification of Earth. Known for his strength and courage, Thor wields the enchanted hammer
Mjolnir, a symbol of his ability to protect Asgard, the realm of the gods, from giants and other
destructive forces. His adventures often involve battling formidable opponents, including the
giants, who represent chaos and disorder in the Norse cosmos.
In modern times, Thor’s character has been brought into the global spotlight, particularly
through Marvel Comics, where he was first introduced in 1962. Thor became a central figure in
the Marvel Universe, portrayed as a hero who balances his divine responsibilities with his mortal
characteristics. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Thor is portrayed by actor Chris
Hemsworth, where he is shown as both a warrior and a member of the Avengers, a team of
superheroes dedicated to saving the Earth from powerful adversaries. These films expanded his
character beyond the traditional mythological context, blending his heroic traits with humor and
humanity, making him one of the most beloved superheroes worldwide.
Thor’s enduring popularity, both in mythology and modern culture, speaks to his
universal appeal. He embodies strength, resilience, and the battle between good and evil. His
connections to natural forces, such as thunder and lightning, also make him a symbol of nature’s
power and unpredictability. As both a mythological and modern-day hero, Thor continues to
inspire stories of bravery and determination, ensuring that his legend lives on across cultures and
generations.
