Mighty Thor grips the snake firmly by its tongue
Lifts his hammer high to strike soon his work is done
Vingtor sends the giant snake bleeding to the depth
Twilight of the thundergod Ragnarök awaits

Thor is commonly associated with his hammer Mjölnir which is thought to bear the power of thunder.
The Mjölnir is a fantastic weapon which is described in the Norse mythology as having the capability of leveling mountains.
In several Germanic languages, a day of the week bears the name of Thor. In English it's Thursday (i.e. "Thors day"), in German it's "Donnerstag", and in Dutch it's "donderdag".
The name of Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroes, literally means "Thor's Harbour". The locality is situated on the Streymoy island, the largest and most populous one of the Faroese archipelago
The Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius identified a chemical element that he decided to name "thorium" after Thor.
"Working the bellows, heating the forge, striking the anvil, striking with force! Then as they worked on the last gift, a mighty hammer of war, Loke disrupted the work of the blacksmiths, the handle came out short"
