Event Details

This interactive presentation delves into the mythological roots of modern representations and adaptations of Norse Mythology, centering particularly on Thor, God of Thunder. Hear defining tales about Thor and compare them to modern representations in popular culture, including the recent Marvel film adaptations.

His PhD dissertation centered on adaptation of comic art to film. His current research interests include diffusion of traditional folklore in popular culture, as well as Norse, Celtic, and Greek Mythologies, esoteric belief systems, rune lore, and pagan religions.
