Characteristics

Thor features strongly in the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson, in which Thor's many conflicts with the race of giants are a main source of plots. Thor is the most powerful of the gods and protects Asgard and Midgard.

Family

Thor is the son of Odin (Wotan or Woden). His wife is called Sif, and little is known of her except that she has golden hair, which was made for her by the dwarfs after Loki had cut off her hair. With the giantess Jarnsaxa, Thor had the son Magni and with Sif he had Thrud, and Modi. The prologue of the Prose Edda also indicates he has a son by Sif named Lóriði, along with an additional 17 generations of descendants. He also has a stepson called Ull who is a son of Sif.

Possessions

Thor travels in a chariot drawn by the goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr and with his servant and messenger Thjálfi and his sister Röskva. The skaldic poem Haustlöng relates that the earth was scorched and the mountains cracked as Thor travelled in his wagon. According to the Prose Edda, when Thor is hungry he can roast the goats for a meal. When he wants to continue his travels, Thor only needs to touch the remains of the goats and they will be instantly restored to full health to resume their duties, assuming that the bones have not been broken.
