God renders Hamlet powerless (4)
I believe the answer is:
thor
'god' is the definition.
(I know that Thor is a Norse deity)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thor that I've seen before include "Imitative artistic work" , "Norse hammer-wielding god" , "Thursday is named after this Scandinavian god" , "Scandinavian thunder-god" , "Mythical figure" .)
