However, as the studio usually does, Santa Monica has taken liberties with the source material to tell a fresh story with twists that will be unexpected to even the biggest mythology nerd. With Odin playing such a large role in Norse mythology, it is no surprise that he is a significant figure in God of War's Norse saga. His death is avenged by his son, Vidarr, who kills the great wolf. He gathers an army of warriors, though it is not enough to save him, and he eventually perishes in the jaws of the giant wolf Fenrir, who is the son of the trickster god Loki. Mythology claims that he is warned of the incoming dangers by Mimir, triggering him to make preparations. He plays a fairly prominent role during the apocalyptic events of Ragnarok.
Consequently, Odin has been depicted as a savior of soldiers and a protector of heroes. Some versions of mythology claim that Mimir was beheaded in war, and Odin preserved the head and kept it around for consultation.Īccording to mythology, Odin dwells in Valhalla, where warriors who die in battle go. However, Mimir informed him that he would have to sacrifice his eye, which Odin was more than happy to do. Upon noticing that the wise man Mimir drank from the well known as Mimirsbrunnr, Odin desired to drink from it, so he could gain wisdom. He has an obsession with knowledge, and he desires to know as much about everything as possible. Odin appears to be omniscient in part thanks to his ravens, Huginn and Munnin, that soar all over Midgard, spying and collecting information for their master. Sometimes, he is shown riding his eight-legged horse named Steidnir. Most depictions of Odin feature an old, sage-looking man with a sizable beard and an eye missing. He is generally seen as a benevolent and extremely wise figure, with some versions of mythology positioning him as a consort of Frigg and the father of several gods, including Thor and Baldur.
