Odin (Norse mythology)
Odin is the chief god in Norse mythology, associated with wisdom, war, and death. He rules Asgard, the realm of gods, and is often depicted as a restless seeker of knowledge, willing to sacrifice much to gain wisdom. Odin is known for his one-eyed appearance, having sacrificed an eye for insight, and his association with runes and magic. He leads the gods in their battle against chaos and is connected to poets, warriors, and those who seek to understand deeper truths. Odin embodies the complex qualities of leadership, sacrifice, and quest for understanding central to Norse belief.
