In Norse mythology, Odin was a one-eyed god, the wisest of the Aesir and their leader, displacing Thor. Odin was the god war, poetry, wisdom, and death. He gathered his portion of the slain warriors in Valhalla. He had a spear, Grungir, that never missed. Odin was accompanied by two ravens who informed him of the doings of the gods, giants, dwarves, and men. He lost his eye in exchange for a drink from a sacred well full of knowledge and learned songs and runes by hanging onto Yggdrasil for nine days. At Ragnarök, Odin dies while fighting Fenrir.
