Odin
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Odin was the king of the gods, similar to Zeus in the old Greek religion. Tales tell of Odin riding around on the back of a black horse and tend to prey upon his foes with a swift mighty blow from his jaggered blade. Odin also wore mostly black armour and a horned helmet. They say his horse had red eyes.
