How much do you know about Odin?

The All-Father of the pantheon of Norse gods, Odin is a complex deity associated with war, wisdom, and the afterlife. As a god of war, he was known for his strategic mind and role in guiding warriors to victory. Yet Odin's mythology focused on his relentless quest for knowledge, to the point of sacrificing one of his eyes for perception of the cosmos.

He was often portrayed wielding his mighty spear, Gungnir, while astride his eight-legged horse, Sleipnir. His two ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), brought him news of everything they saw.

As the leader of the gods, respect for Odin was central to Norse society – a reflection of their warrior culture and belief in the importance of honourable death.
