Odin

Odin (Old Norse: /ˈoʊdɪn/; from Old Norse: Óðinn, IPA: [ˈoːðinː]) is the king of the Aesir, and is the highest of all the gods in the Norse pantheon. He lives in his hall, Valhalla, in Asgard.

Odin partook in the killing of the primordial jotunn, Ymir, and the creation of the world from his body, as well as the creation of the first of humankind, Ask and Embla.

Odin is part Jotunn by his mother. Odin is the son of Bestla and Bor, the brother of Vili and Ve, the father of Thor, the husband of Frigg by whom he is the father of Baldur and Hod, and is the father of many other beings by other mothers. Odin is one of the wisest of all the gods, through having drunk of the water of Mimir's Well and given one of his eyes to it, and through his ravens Hugin and Munin who flies out to the nine worlds every day and returns to him to report any news. He has great mythological, historical and cosmological knowledge. Odin goes by many different names, which he often uses when travelling the nine worlds.

Odin is widely revered as a god in Germanic mythology. Norse nythology, the source of surviving information about him, associates Odin with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and is portrayed as being the husband of Frigg and the father of Thor, Baldr and Höðr, and many other beings. In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, the god was known in Old English and Old Saxon as Wōden, in Old Dutch as Wuodan, and in Old High German as Wuotan.
