Heyerdahl among the immortals? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'heyerdahl' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'among the immortals?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'hor' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thor that I've seen before include "Divine figure" , "Mythical figure" , "One of the Norse gods" , "Scandinavian god of thunder and the weather" , "Germanic deity" .)
