Zeus is Greek god of the heavens and the supreme Greek god.The right hand man of the supreme God Odin, in Norse mythology, is Thor. Hew was known as the Thunder god, and was responsible for the great thunder and lighting which he created with his mighty hammer. In addition to the atmospherical creations, he also was the god of war and destruction; things that the Anglo Saxons held as grand reasons to live and breathe. Thor's feast day was called aptly: Thor's day. The Anglo-Saxon tongue quickly changed this to Thur's day or Thursday. Thus our name for the day named Thursday. Therefore, when people would pass each other they would say: Happy Thor's day or may the day be blessed by Thor for you and I. That means, if you tell someone happy Thursday, you are actually evoking the God of War and thunder to bless the person you spoke to. Isn't that against certain religious beliefs? Is it ok to keep the day named this? Happy Thur's Day!
Thursday in Latin is 'dies Iovis.' So, the Thursday god is Jupiter.
Thursday is actually not named after a Roman god- 'Thursday' is named after Thor, the god of thunder from Norse mythology.
Thursday is the modern English version of the old English Þunresdæg meaning Day of Thor, Thors day becoming known as Thursday.
Thursday is not named for any Greek god, but the Norse god Thor.
The etymology of the word "Thursday" can be connected to the Norse mythology. The Norse god of thunder and lightning, Thor, gives its name to the day. Thursday literally means "Thor's day".
