Excerpt from Norse Mythology Part A
Kate McConnaughey
2 Thor, a son of Woden, ranked next to him among the gods. He rode through the air in a chariot drawn by goats. The Germans
called him Donar and Thunar, words which are like our word thunder. From this we can see that he was the thunder god. In his
hand he carried a wonderful hammer which always had come back to his hand when he threw it. Its head was so bright that as it
flew through the air it made the lightning. When it struck the vast ice mountains, they reeled and splintered into fragments, and
thus Thor's hammer made thunder.
(5)Also a great god of our ancestors was Tiew. He was a son of Woden and was the god of battle. He was armed with a sword
which flashed like lightning when he brandished it. A savage chief named Attila routed the armies of the Romans and so terrified
all the world that he was called "The Scourge of God." His people believed that he gained his victories if he had the sword of
Tiew, which a herdsman chanced to find where the god had allowed it to fall. The Teutons prayed to Tiew when they went into
battle
