Greek mythology is great! Decide which greek God you want to talk about... of use a few of them (the link below has the most popular Gods. Writing a story about an evil dragon could be cool, and how each God does his or her part to help the day.

Do you want to have some fun with it? Write a myth explaining, say, the origin of the Internet. Mercury would probably have something to do with it, and you'd of course have to mention Al Gore as well.
If that one doesn't hit you, then pick something else decidedly modern (the origin of iPods, why all Model T's were black, why French women don't shave their legs), pick the appropriate god or goddess, and go nuts.

About Thor, the Norse god of thunder. There are several interesting myths about this god, you should read about him.
Thor was usually portrayed as a large, powerful man with a red beard and eyes of lightning. Despite his ferocious appearance, he was very popular as the protector of both gods and humans against the forces of evil. He even surpassed his father Odin in popularity because, contrary to Odin, he did not require human sacrifices. In his temple at Uppsala he was shown standing with Odin at his right side.
he Norse believed that during a thunderstorm, Thor rode through the heavens on his chariot pulled by the goats Tanngrisni ("gap-tooth") and Tanngnost ("tooth grinder"). Lightning flashed whenever he threw his hammer Mjollnir. Thor wears the belt Megingjard which doubles his already considerable strength. His hall is Bilskirnir, which is located in the region Thrudheim ("place of might"). His greatest enemy is Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent. At the day of Ragnarok, Thor will kill this serpent but will die from its poison. His sons will inherit his hammer after his death.
Donar is his Teutonic equivalent, while the Romans see in him their god Jupiter. Thursday is named after him.

Why do some fish try to fly?
Why is there/what are the northern lights?
Why (your favorite flower- not roses, asphodel, narcissus, hyacinth, or sunflowers, though, those have myths) is annual/perennial/the color it is?
