Odin was 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.

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.^[1]

At some point, Odin disguised himself as a beggar and plunged a sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, stating that whomever 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.^[2]

Legacy

During the 9th century, the Vikings made offerings and sacrifices to Odin and pray for strength in battle.^[1] A statue of him was a key feature of Viking settlements.^[3]
