More About "thor's father crossword"

The clue 'thor's father crossword' almost invariably points to ODIN, the powerful and enigmatic figure from Norse mythology. Odin is one of the most complex and revered deities in the Norse pantheon, often depicted as a wise, one-eyed old man wielding his spear Gungnir. As the All-Father, he is not only Thor's biological father but also the father of many other gods, including Baldr and Víðarr. His role extends far beyond paternity; he is the chief god, associated with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, prophecy, and the hunt.

His connection to Thor is central to many myths, with Thor being the strongest of the gods, the protector of Asgard and Midgard. Odin's character often reflects the duality of power and sacrifice, exemplified by his pursuit of knowledge, even at the cost of one of his eyes. Understanding this fundamental relationship between Odin and Thor is key not only to solving this crossword clue but also to appreciating the richness of Norse sagas and legends.

Tips For Your Next Puzzle

• Identify proper nouns: Clues like "thor's father" often refer to specific names. Capitalization or context (like "mythology" or "character") can be a big hint.
• Count letters carefully: Always double-check the number of letters required by the grid. For "ODIN", it's a precise 4-letter fit.
• Consider alternative spellings or lesser-known names: While ODIN is standard, sometimes clues might hint at less common names for the same entity in different mythologies or interpretations (though not applicable here). Always have backup options if the first one doesn't fit.
• Think about the source: Is it mythology, pop culture, history? This helps narrow down the possibilities.
