In Norse mythology, who is the father of Thor?

Aeldfrith, apparently many scholars conflate Frigg and Freya due to considerable “thematic” overlap. Also, in Old High German Frigg is Frija, very similar to Freya. Friday is named after Frigg, but the Freya's similarity to Frija may well account for her inclusion as a source for Friday. Comparing English, French & German: Monday, Montag, lundi = moon day. Tuesday, mardi, Dienstag = Tiw, god of war equivalent to Mars. Wednesday, mercredi, Mittwoch, Woden, Thursday, jeudi, Donnerstag, Thunor, god of thunder, equivalent to Jupiter. Friday, vendredi, Freitag, Frigg, (loosely) goddess of love, equivalent to Venus. Saturday, samedi, Samstag/Sonnabend, Saturn's day. The alternative German = Sun Eve. Sunday, dimanche, Sonntag, Sun's day, or lords day for the French.

thor is a great movie

ejiiij06, And Chris Hemsworth don't hurt my eyes either. HELLO HANDSOME! 😎

My German friend just named her son Odin! Interesting to find out more about the origins of the name :).

all marvel fans will get this right

I like Lego Odin Avengers Age of Ultron

I see Thor and I immediately picture Chris Hemsworth

WiseWoman, so do I, as well as Greek/Roman mythology. it's interesting.

i wonder if his wife Frigg has a history (etynology) with the word Frigid. z will Google it but just some food for thought. Or does everyone already know this? _

vishal rocks, I hate marvel and I got it right

Nigerians will better explain whom "Odin" is!😅😅

Saint Nine, You did not note that the French Friday Vendredi is actually Vendre di selling day - Market day

max_078, Maybe Angry Birds is more YOUR speed??? Get off the couch & go watch a movie or something. (Thor) You may learn a little about Mythology???

ejiiij06, Everyone knows Loki is Thor's Brother. The hammer is like Excalibur, ONLY the "worthy" can wield it...

Ok, but what's with the hammer?
