 Includes NotesNotes for Thor:
The following is from the Prose Edda:

Near the centre of the world where what we call Turkey lies, was builtthe most famous of all palaces and halls - Troy by name. That town wasbuilt on a much larger scale than others then in existence and in manyways with greater skill, so lavishly was it equipped.

There were twelve kingdoms with one over-king, and each kingdomcontained many peoples. In the citadel were twelve chieftains andthese excelled other men then living in every human fashion.

One of the kings was called Múnón or Mennón. He married a daughter ofthe chief king Priam who was called Tróáin, and they had a son namedTrór - we call him Thór.

He was brought up in Thrace by a duke called Loricus and, when he wasten years old, he received his father's arms.

When he took his place amongst other men he was as beautiful to lookat as ivory inlaid in oak; his hair was lovelier than gold. At twelveyears old he had come to his full strength and then he lifted ten bearpelts from the ground at once and killed his foster father Loricuswith his wife Lóri or Glóri, and took possession of the realm ofThrace - we call that Thrúðheim.

After that he travelled far and wide exploring all the regions of theworld and by himself overcoming all the berserks and giants and anenormous dragon and many wild beasts.

The Prose Edda lists several generations of descendents of Thor, withlittle of historical or tangible significance. These names are omittedfrom this geneology file.

See note for Jat (Geata) for these names.
