Thor and Hercules These mythological figures have many differences and similarities between the two of them. Thor is from the Norse mythology and Hercules is from Greek mythology but both have many similarities between the two of them even though they are from completely different culture and eras. Thor is “full” god while Hercules is only a demigod meaning his mom is a human and his dad is Zeus. Thor also has power of nature such as lighting and thunder but Hercules is basically just a super strong

How many ancient deities have caused so much confusion over 4,000 years after their prime? No god or goddess has caused so much debate and conflicting information than the Norse god Loki. Everything about him has at least more than one meaning, including his race, name, and role in Asgard. As a god, he has lived on through time shrouded in controversy and mystery. However, he is not completely ambiguous—when one goes through time, one can see how he changed in meaning and character starting from

In the Norse myths, he is often portrayed as being very mischievous and is always causing trouble for the gods. In fact, “he was so outrageously mischievous that he even sneaked his way into becoming a god” (Allen, and Saunders, par. 1). However, even though he almost always seems to be getting the gods into some kind of

Ring series. Within these people there are others who know that the names of all the dwarves from The Hobbit and the name Gandalf come from an ancient Norse poem titled Volpusa. An even smaller group of people know that more than just his name came from Norse mythology, in fact the model for Gandalf’s character may have been taken from one of Norse mythologies most important gods Odin. There are many similarities between the two of them; pictures and paintings of Odin look like Gandalf, they both

amongst their language and culture, they brought their Norse Religion and myths of treachery, bravery, death, and rebirth. Of all their stories, their depiction of the death of their own gods and the rebirth of a new world struck me as a possible interpretation of natural phenomena. By demythologizing Ragnarök could their be a natural event that wound up incorporated into the Icelanders’ story of rebirth? Ragnarök, the myth of the end times in Norse mythology, involves several events that lead up to
