the prominent place held by the wor

the prominent place held by the worship of thor in the old religions is also indecated by the frequent mention of images of the good in various temples (as will appear in a later chapter) ; this fact acquires special significance when contrasted with the lack of similar statements regarding odin. it is also extremely probable that is was thor, and not odin, to whom the vague names of 'land-god' and 'the almighty god' were given ; the latter was used, coupled with the names of Frey and Njord, in an old oath-formula.
