German God Thor (Tor Deus Germânico)

In Norse mythology the gods were mortal, but under certain conditions, they could turn immortal, for example, eating Idun’s apples, kept in an ash-tree ark. They fought for the pleasure of fighting. The warriors who were killed in combat were placed in the Valhalla or the Elects’ Room.


Na mitologia nórdica os deuses eram mortais mas, em certas condições, podiam deixar de o ser: comer as maçãs de Idun guardadas em arca de madeira de freixo. Combatiam pelo prazer da luta. Os guerreiros mortos em combate tinham lugar no Valhala ou Sala dos Eleitos.
