About this ebook
How did Odin’s divine lineage shape the mythology and culture of the Norse world? This book explores the lineage of Odin, the Allfather of the Norse pantheon, whose ancestry connects him to the primal beings of Norse mythology. The narrative traces his birth from the union of the giantess Bestla and the god Bor, and his eventual role as the father of many prominent Norse gods, including Thor and Balder. The book delves into Odin’s complex character as a god of war, wisdom, and death, examining his sacrifices for knowledge, his quest for the runes, and his leadership of the Aesir. By analyzing his divine lineage and the symbolism of his actions, the book explores how Odin’s legacy influenced Norse culture, the Viking Age, and modern interpretations of mythology.
