Meet the Norse gods

You probably already know some of these names: Thor, Odin, Loki.
They are famous gods from Viking mythology.

Thor is very strong. He is often blonde in movies and comics, but in

the original myths he is redhaired. He has a magic hammer that
controls lightning and thunder. He gets angry easily, so don’t annoy
him! His enemy is a giant serpent.

Odin is Thor’s father. He is the leader of the gods. He is an old man

with only one eye. He has a magic spear and many powers: he can
see the future, transform into animals, and use spells. He is the god
of the sky, war, death, and poetry. His enemy is a giant wolf.

like rules. He likes to cause trouble. He will cause Ragnarök, the
end of the world.
