I'm sure you've all heard of Thor's Hammer.
But, what exactly is Thor's Hammer, what does it do?
And who is Thor?

Thor Was a Viking God. He was in charge of Making Thunder which he did by smacking his gread big hammer Down on the Sky making a loud Chashing noise.
Thursday is in fact Thors Day which changed spelling a lont since the days of the Vikings, all days are named after Viking Gods biut I can only remember Thor and Odin (The King of Viking Gods who gives his name to WednesDay.

"Torsdag" is Swedish, there's only the "h" missing but "Thorsdag" is probably just an older version. "Onsdag" is WednesDay, and "Odin" has just been simplified to "On"

The God of Thunder rode along on his horse and roared "I'm Thor!"
His horse turned to him and said,"You forgot your thaddle thilly!"

Zeus is the Greek version of Thor. Jupiter is the Roman

NO, I'm pretty sure Jupiter is the Roman name for Zeus, but Thor being part of Norse mythology is quite different from Greek/Roman Mythology. And I think it was the sound of Thor's horses' hooves that where thunder?

Thor's hammer was called Miollnir. It was Thor's most precious posession. When he threw it, it returned back to him. He also possessed Iron gloves with which to weild the hammer. [1]
Thor was the Norse God of Thunder. [2]

Actually, Jupiter was a Roman god who was originally the Greek god, Posiedon, the god of the sea and of earthquakes.

Then who was Zeus? I was almost sure it was Jupiter

Zeus was the god of all the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus, his weapon was a thunderbolt.
UP: Sorry, I'm wrong. The Roman's god, Neptune, was Poseidon. I guess Jupiter is Zeus.

Ok, I read a magazine about Vikings. It says that their were three main god Vikings: Odin, Thor, and Freya (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday).
And some Viking named Erik the Red explored Greenland...which he called, even though it was cold, to attract other people. A trick.
