Odin is one of the most interesting gods in Norse myth.

Nicely told. Encyclopaedic even. Good imagery too. Certainly inspires the curious to look deeper.

As a Swede, there was nothing here that I haven't heard before, but you did well; all of the most important stuff is in the video. :)

A lot of esoteric symbolism in Norse mythology, specifically with Odin. He gave up his eye (the single eye) for wisdom. He hung himself from a tree to gain knowledge. Self-sacrifice and facing one's demons (literally or figuratively) is something humans all have to do.


Also a lot of parallels to other religions as well. Fascinating stuff.

From my understanding Odin was a Greek/Gothic Chieftan whom came from Crimea around 0-150 AD.
Many of the runes bear similarities to Greek characters, in addition to the Vikings having a modified version of the Phalanx tactic.
Whats more, is when I go into my ancestry tree past Ragnarr Lothbrok, through his patrilineal side, Kings of Macedonia start showing up.
_Alexander the Great doesnt show up, but people associated with him do._
_Also the date I gave for Odin is based off of when he shows up in ancestry trees, in conjecture with the enroaching Roman Empire._
