In the latest Mounds and Memory episode, Irina and Howard discuss Thor, the Norse god of thunder (and much more!), covering his important myths, sources and historical interpretations. We examine literary texts like the Eddas, archaeological evidence like Thor's hammer amulets and runes, alongside a textual analysis of temples in Old Norse literature. Join us to learn more about norse gods and their place in Ragnarok, as well as the broader context of Old Norse paganism.
