now, the reason you might believe that thor is greek as well is that hephaestus has an equivalent in roman mythology. his name is vulcan. it's where we get the word volcano. and the greek god most equivocal to thor is zeus, or in roman mythology, jupiter.
The Romans adopted many of the Greek customs and traditions. They had very similar gods and myths, but changed the names to fit Roman culture. The only thing the Romans had over the Greeks was power, and military strength and numbers.
