: Thor uses a war hammer named Mjölnir. Zeus used lightning bolts created by
: one of the other Greek gods. I cannot remember which... I think the
: Cyclops had something to do with it.
: As for lightning that strikes an anvil, I do not know of any stories or myths
: where this occurs but I am very rusty on my mythology. If I had to guess
: at what it may mean, I would say that lightning striking an anvil would be
: a sign from the gods that the anvil is either blessed or cursed.
Wiki doesn't say it, but I seem to recall that Hephastus was the one who forged Zeus' thunderbolts (what with being the smith of the gods and all), and to that extent anvils and lightning are related.
Also, I'm not on my home computer right now so I can't check, but isn't the icon for Anvil the Marathon editor a lightning bolt striking an anvil?
