Abstract
Odin (Óðinn in Old Icelandic) is a complex figure in Norse mythology. As the all-father, a god of war, magic, and wisdom, with multiple names, as well as a habit of disguising himself before both mortals and the gods, Odin's identity and aspects frequently shift.
Jan A. Kozák discusses his research and observations on two myths concerning Odin and his quest for knowledge.
