Odin also called Woden or Wotan is the head of the Aesir, one of two families of Norse gods.
Odin is the god of the dead, wisdom and war / He encourages men to die in battle bravely, and reward them by taking the best of them to Asgard (Old Norse "The Garden of the Gods" ) where they will fight and festoiront forever, until the end of time and the final battle.
Odin loved so much wisdom that he sacrificed himself and offered one of his eyes to Mimir's Well to be able to drink. He obtained great wisdom.
He also hung on the tree Yggdrasil, died and resurrected, thus obtaining the revelation of all secrets, and discovering the runes, allowing him to speak of mortal and see the future.
Odin appears often hidden, hidden behind a large hat, because wisdom is revealed only with difficulty.

Myrrdin Commentary:
It should be noted that Odin is the god of the dead, wisdom and war ... but the god-shaman, pushing the "bravery" to experiences very stressful and difficult to overcome for the body!
Odin was born with two brothers, Ve (the sacred) and Vili (will). The name Odin is built on the root Od, energy ... He is the god who controls the raw magic of the elements (in contrast to Frigg and Freya who have mastered the magic of words more "feminine"). One of his nicknames (it seems he has a thousand!) Alfadhyr is the father of all. He created the first human couple from two branches.
He was so eager to know the destiny of the gods (the Aesir and the Vanir), but also of the world, he would drink from the source Mymir of wisdom (the primeval giant who also left his head in the same source to see the "underside" of knowledge) ... But he learned that the wisdom and merit to "see" decides to give a look at the source, and ... last seen wearing a bandage over his left eye: it shows that wisdom is so instinctive thought is built.
This hard-earned wisdom, pushed to shamanic experiences, he realized by hanging upside down from Yggdrasil for nine nights and nine days without drinking or eating, the more he hurts himself with his spear ... Some say that it is the blood of Odin giouttes falling on the ground who designed runes but it is clear that by putting his body in so painful, it creates a strong tension that frees his mind by giving him the revelation of the meaning of these symbols!
As for warriors killed in battles ... Ragnarok Odin knows that, "consumption of the fate of powers", end up on a battle involving montrueuse Eril the entire universe between gods (representing order) and giants (representing the chaos). To allow the victory of order, he leads with the help of her daughters, the Valkyries, the bravest warriors and bravest in Wahalla, Hall of Heroes, so they stand with the gods order . It is said
Ragnarok decimate all the giants, all gods and all men. Only survive a couple and two human gods ...
