Additional info: |
Odin (Old Norse Óðinn) is considered the chief god in Norse mythology and Norse paganism. Like the Anglo-Saxon Woden it is decended from Proto-Germanic *Wōdinaz or *Wōđanaz.
His name is related to óðr, meaning "excitation," "fury" or "poetry," and his role, like many of the Norse pantheon, is complex. He rides an eight-legged horse fathered by Loki and stands as the god of wisdom, poetry, prophecy and magic. He is also associated with war, battle, death, victory and the hunt. |
