Memoria Press: Classical Christian Curriculum
https://memoriapress.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=CU&utm_campaign=Thor
Welcome to Classics Unraveled with Jon Christianson, a show that puts modern-day media and their classical counterparts side by side and see how they stack up. In this episode, we examine Thor, the God of Thunder in Norse Mythology, his mythological and cultural significance, his narrative purpose, and his awkward place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Who is Thor? Does Thor's hammer really matter? What is the function of Norse Myth? And how do we explain bro Thor?

We'll explore Thor's origins in classical myth, his place among the other Norse Gods, his journey into modern media, and how we hope to see him evolve in our modern interpretations in the future.

Join us as we unravel Thor and other classical characters as they've been integrated and misappropriated into the modern world. Let us know what classical characters and stories we should unravel next!
