Odin was called the "cunning god" and was the father of three sons - Thor, Tyr, and Balder.  He was the chief and father of all the gods.  Odin had a horse and two ravens.  The horse, Sleipnir, could travel on land and water, and had eight legs.  The ravens brought news from distant places.
    Ymir, who's body was made into Middle Earth, is the creation giant and gave birth to Odin.
    Odin's day of the week is Wednesday, and his Saxon name is Woden.  Odin was extremely wise because he drank from the spring of Mimir.  He had three wives, they were Fjorgyn, Frigg, and Rhind.  Odin was a god of four things, he was a sky god, a god of wisdom, war, and death.  Many gods called him the "All Father".
      Odin had a spear of ash called Gungnir and a magnificent ring named Draupnir. With these two items Odin ruled Asgard,  (the home of  the gods).  The spear represented worship.  Odin had two wolves which sat at his feet, while Odin sat on his throne, Hlidskialf. The names of the wolves were Geriand and Freki.
