Gods and Myths of Northern Europe by H.R. Ellis Davidson

Thor's exploits, including his relentless slaughter of his foes and fierce battles with the monstrous serpent Jörmungandr-and their foretold mutual deaths during the events of Ragnaröko-are recorded throughout sources for Norse mythology. Thor wields the mountain-crushing hammer, Mjölnir, wears the belt Megingjörð and the iron gloves Járngreipr], and owns the staff Gríðarvölr. Thor has two servants, Þjálfi and Röskva Þjálfi and Röskva, rides in a cart or chariot pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr Tanngrisn and Tanngnjóstr]] (that he eats and resurrects), and is ascribed three dwellings ( Bilskirnir, Þrúðheimr, and Þrúðvangr). By way of Odin, Thor has numerous brothers, including Baldr.

With Sif, Thor fathered the goddess (and possible Valkyrie) Þrúðr with Járnsaxa, he fathered Móði and Magni (Magni) with a mother whose name is not recorded, he fathered Móði and Magni (Móði), and he is the stepfather of the god Ullr. In these sources, Thor bears at least fifteen names, is the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif, is the lover of the jötunn Járnsaxa, and is generally described as fierce eyed, red haired and red bearded. In Norse mythology, largely recorded in Iceland from traditional material stemming from Scandinavia, numerous tales and information about Thor are provided. Thor is associated with the planet Jupiter in Germanic paganism (Germanic mythology). Main article: Classical planets/Thor Thor's Fight with the Giants (1872) by Mårten Eskil Winge.
