Odin, also called the All-Father, was a widely revered god in Germanic mythology. In Norse mythology, he was known as the king of all gods, associated with wisdom, healing, death, knowledge, and war. He is also the father of Thor, the warrior god of lightning and thunder.
Names
Odin is also referred to as Havi in Old Norse, meaning "High One".[1] The Anglo-Saxon pagans referred to him as Woden in Old English.
Mythology
According to the mythology, Odin was accompanied by the ravens Huginn and Muninn, who kept him informed of the goings-on in the worlds.[2]
Odin was also in charge of the sword-maidens, who were thought to visit battlefields.[3]
At some point, Odin disguised himself as a beggar and plunged a sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, stating that whoever was able to pull it free would receive it as a gift. Only the warrior Sigmund proved able to do so, and subsequently claimed the Sword as his own.[4]
It is said that Odin was killed or will be killed by Loki's son, Fenrir, the giant wolf during the final battle of Ragnarök.[5]
Legacy
During the 9th century, the Vikings made offerings and sacrifices to Odin and prayed for strength in battle.[2] A statue of him was a key feature of Viking settlements.[6]
