Brief Summary of Odin: Odin was the the main god in viking mythology. Odin had a habit of going into towns, disguised as a human, impregnating and seducing women. This is why a lot of people trace there ancestry back to Odin. Odin is the god of war and death but also the god of wisdom and poetry(Poetry was considered a divine power, only the smartest vikings could write poetry so it was a sacred gift). He also had a spear that never missed it's target and he is accompanied by two wolves called Freki and Geri. An interesting fact about Odin is that he gave up one eye for a drink from the Well of Wisdom.
