Wednesday (Odin)

Wednesday is named after Odin, the chief god in Norse mythology, often associated with wisdom, war, and death. The name derives from "Woden" or "Woden's day," reflecting the historical tradition of naming weekdays after celestial bodies and gods. Odin is depicted as a wise, powerful, and complex deity who seeks knowledge and insight, sometimes sacrificing much for wisdom. In modern culture, the association with Odin connects to the day's name, illustrating how ancient mythologies influence contemporary language and calendars.
