In Norse mythology, Thor did not actually lose an eye. Instead, it was Odin, the Allfather and chief of the gods, who sacrificed his eye for wisdom. According to the myths, Odin sought knowledge and decided to sacrifice one of his eyes in exchange for a drink from the Well of Mimir, which was known to grant immense wisdom.
However, Thor’s character is often confused with Odin’s in various adaptations of Norse stories. While Thor is renowned for his strength and his hammer, Mjölnir, it is Odin’s sacrifice that symbolizes the quest for knowledge at great personal cost. This mix-up may arise from the complex interrelationships and stories of the gods in Norse mythology, but it is important to note that Thor remains whole in his features throughout the legendary tales.
