Odin Unveiled: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Norse God

Описание: Óðinn is known to be the chief god in the myths of the Old Norse texts, but his place in the pantheon is peculiar, not aligning with other Indo-European cultures. This video explores the origin of Odin, the influences on his name, his attributes, but perhaps most importantly, why he sits where he does within mythology, a role that is as old as the Proto Indo-Europeans.
