Thor was born to Odin and the Earth(Jord). Jord nursed Thor until he was able to be weaned, then left him with his father to raise, for Jord was wild and carefree in those days. She did not want to be saddled with children, though ended up having many and always left them with their fathers.

Odin, likewise, had many children. Thor was raised alongside his foster brother, Tyr, and his half brothers Heimdall and Vidar. He always felt as if he had something to prove to his father, who seemed hard to please. Thor was not as wise as Vidar or Heimdall, who his father seemed to enjoy conversing with, and Odin seemed more impressed with Tyr’s work ethic. So Thor put all his practice and effort into besting his brothers in the training yards.

Indeed, Thor was strong and well skilled in the training yards. But Tyr and Vidar gave him a challenge and Thor was worried that one day they might beat him. So he sought out a way to improve his strength. He went on a quest in the wilds to fight bears and beasts. But Loki lured him into a trap, for the Jotunn Geirröd wanted to kill Thor and Loki promised to deliver Thor to him without weapons. Vidar’s mother, Girdr, warned Thor that Geirröd was an evil Jotunn intent on causing him harm, and gave him a belt that doubled his strength, power, and durability. It was called Megingjord. Thor went on to kill Geirröd with nothing but the belt and his bare hands.

None could match Thor’s strength and power after that.

Thor continued to try to prove himself to his father by killing any Jotunn who threatened Asgard or Midgard. He didn’t kill all Jotunn, however, only those who were evil and posed a threat to either Asgard or Midgard. Indeed, not all were evil, for in those earlier days Thor had relations with a Jotunn named Jarnsaxa, who bore him two sons: Magni and Modi. She wasn't evil, however she also wasn't the marrying type. He did, however, kill Sif’s abusive husband, and won her hand in marriage. She produced him a daughter named Thrud.

It was when Loki cut his wife’s hair that Thor was given a mighty gift… Mjolnir. It was a faulty hammer in that he could not wield it with two hands, however it was powerful and magical. If Thor were to throw the hammer it would immediately come back to his hand, and hummed with electric energy. It quickly became Thor’s favored weapon, and the one he used to slay many evil Jotunn.

One day Thor’s hammer was stolen. Of course, he immediately thought it was Loki’s doing… as when wasn’t it Loki’s doing? But it turns out, in this case, Loki had nothing to do with it. Loki did, however, find out who stole it. The Jotunn Thrym had stolen it and said he would only return it if Freyja were to marry him. Thor turned to Freyja hopefully, but the goddess huffed and said she would never marry Thrym.

And so Heimdarll devised a plan in which Thor would dress up like Freyja and go to marry Thrym in her place. Thor did not like this idea in the slightest, however he REALLY wanted his hammer back. And so the women of Asgard went about dressing him up in the finest of silk dresses and jewels. With Loki as his maid-of-honor he went to Thrym.

When the pair arrived in Jotunheim, they explained that Freyja would keep her face covered until the wedding ceremony was complete. The wealthy giant threw an incredible feast for the nuptials, and Thor almost gave himself away by indulging his enormous appetite. Fortunately, Loki convinced Thrym that Freyja had not eaten in several days due to excitement about the union. When Thrym caught a glimpse of Thor’s burning eyes, Loki again explained that she had not slept in days in anticipation.

Eventually, Thrym brought Mjolnir out from its hiding place to sanctify the union. Of course, when the hammer was revealed, Thor stole it back and killed all the giants in Thrym’s hall.

Jotunn weren’t Thor’s only enemies, however. One day a Dwarf called Alviss found himself in Asgard. He met Thor’s daughter, Thrud, and fell madly in love with her. He cast a love spell on her so that she would agree to marry him. But she told Alviss that he must find her father and get his consent.

Alviss tracked Thor down at his great hall Bilskirnir and brashly told him that he will marry his daughter, to which Thor stated that the dwarf was unfit to marry his only daughter. In a huff, Alviss proclaimed that he was all-knowing and lived in a great hall of rock and stone beneath the earth where he was protected from the sun. He also boasted that he had made many great weapons for the gods and that this was his just reward.

Thor mocked Alviss for trying to claim the hand of someone better than him, but Alviss said that he would prove himself through a test of knowledge and answer any question that Thor asked.

Alviss answered scores of questions, such as the name of the sun and the moon in all nine worlds. He continued to answer correctly until Thor asked him what time the sun rises in the east. The pair looked out the window and the sun’s rays hit them. The dwarf turned to stone and his spell over Thrud was broken.

But Thor’s greatest enemy is Jormungandr, the great serpent that encircles Midgard. He is fated to die by the serpent’s venom after slaying the beast and taking nine steps away. Of course that doesn’t deter Thor from facing his challenge head on. One day he and Tyr went to Tyr’s birth parents, Hymir and Hróðr, in search for a cauldron large enough to brew mead for all the Aesir in one go.

The giants offer them hospitality but were shocked when Thor ate two oxen in a single sitting. Hyimir didn’t not want to kill any more of his oxen, so he told Thor that they would have to go fishing for food for the next day. When Thor turned up, Hymir was horrified to see that he had slaughtered more of his oxen to use their heads as bait.

Nevertheless, the pair rowed out to sea and caught many enormous fish, including two whales. But Thor was dissatisfied and kept insisting that Hymir row further out. This made the giant nervous because he knew that Jormungandr, the mighty Midgard Serpent, lived in those waters.

Thor insisted on fishing and soon caught something on his line, which caused him to lose balance for a moment. He dug his heels into the bottom of the boat and his mighty biceps flexed as he held onto the pole. He then started to pull up his prize. Hymir realized that it must be Jormungandr, as this was the only being in the ocean strong enough to challenge the god. He begged Thor to let it go, but his plea fell on deaf ears.

Closer and closer the serpent got to their boat as Thor reeled it in, eagerly waiting to strike it’s head with his hammer. Eventually, in his fear, Hymir cut Thor’s line and lets the serpent sink back into the water. Thor was so angered by this that he pushed Hymir into the water where the serpent was still lurking. Thor did pull him back into the boat eventually and the two returned to shore.

Despite this incident, Hymir still gave the cauldron to Thor and Tyr. While Tyr was unable to lift the cauldron, Thor swung it up on his shoulder and walked away.

One day he would face the serpent again.
