Thursday Named After the Adventures of Thor

Norse legend states that Thor’s Adventures always took place in thunder storms. Thor was considered a very powerful and rather fearsome character despite him being married to the goddess of love. The Norse legend states that in one of the Adventures of Thor, he rode to heaven on a special chariot that was lead by two rams or goats which he held with one hand; in the other hand was his hammer. And whenever lightening struck he would throw his hammer, he also wore a large belt that doubled his strength. Thor was considered to be a fearsome character and although a lot was written about him, the only real reminder of Thor's Adventures was Thursday or Thor's day which is where the name comes from.

Thor's Adventures Reached the Literary World

Many poems have been written about the Adventures of Thor with the Challenge of Thor by Hendry Longfellow being the most famous. It was in the 1960's that the Adventures of Thor and his fearsome fist of thunder were revived in a comic book hero series by Marvel. For many years this comic book series was extremely popular but no movie has been made to date although there are plenty of plans for one and rumor has it that the Adventures of Thor movie will be released in 2011.
