Thor is the god of thunder, lighting, storms and the sky in general. He sort of represents brute strength, but that is more in line with his son Magni. He is not the god of violent battles. He is more the god of the common man and divine protector of both gods and men against giants. If anything he is closer to the mythological Hercules (not the one in the Heroes of Olympus books) than any other Greek entity.
