Odin's Eye: The Price of Wisdom in Norse Lore

Odin, the All-Father, is a central deity in Norse mythology, revered as the god of wisdom, war, and death. He famously sacrificed an eye at the Well of Mimir for immense wisdom and hung himself from the world tree, Yggdrasil, for nine days and nights to gain knowledge of runes. Odin rules over Asgard, the home of the gods, and is known for his quests for knowledge, often accompanied by his two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who bring him news from across the world. He is a complex figure, embodying both the pursuit of knowledge and the harsh realities of war, and is prophesied to fall at Ragnarök, the end of the world, fighting the great wolf Fenrir.
