Thor

In Norse and Teutonic mythology, the god of thunder (his hammer), represented as a man of enormous strength defending humanity against demons and the frost giants. He was the son of Odin and Freya, and one of the Aesir (warrior gods). Thursday is named after him.

Thor's three magic possessions were his hammer, the thunderbolt; iron gloves to wield his weapon; and a belt which increased his strength by half. His chariot was drawn by two goats.

The Romans identified him with Jupiter or Jove; Thursday being the Latin equivalent of Jovis dies and French jeudi.
