compare the norse gods tothe Greek/Roman gods from "How odin lost his eye"
Answer (1)
In the myth "How Odin Lost His Eye," Odin sacrifices one of his eyes at Mimir’s Well to gain wisdom. This reflects the Norse gods' value of knowledge, sacrifice, and endurance in a harsh world.While Greek/Roman gods often represent idealized, eternal forces, Norse gods like Odin reflect struggle, sacrifice, and the pursuit of wisdom in a world of inevitable fate.Comparison to Greek/Roman GodsOdin vs. Zeus/Jupiter - Odin and Zeus (Greek) or Jupiter (Roman) are both king gods, but Odin seeks wisdom and often sacrifices for knowledge, while Zeus is more focused on power and control, often using force and authority rather than self-sacrifice.Norse gods vs. Greek/Roman gods overall - Norse gods are more tragic and mortal-like, facing doom (like Ragnarök). Greek/Roman gods are immortal and often act selfishly or whimsically without facing a final destiny.
