Odin

Odin was a major god in Norse mythology. He was the ruler of all the gods in Asgard. Odin had many sons and probably the most famous was Thor. Odin is also known as Wodan, which is where Wednesday comes from (Wodan's day). Odin in search of wisom went to Mimirsbrunner (Mimir's Well) to seek out wisdom from his Uncle, Mimir. As the price he gave his eye, Odin also hung himself for nine days to search for the wisdom of the day. Odin's official consort is Frigg although he has many mistresses with whom he had many children.
