'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Odin}}'''. The god of battles, the old German ''Sabbaoth'', the same as the Scandinavian ''Wodan''. He is the great hero in the ''Edda ''and one of the creators of man. Roman antiquity regarded him as one with Hermes or Mercury (Budha), and modern Orientalism (Sir W. Jones) accordingly confused him with Buddha. In the Pantheon of the Norse men, he is the “father of the gods” and divine wisdom, and as such he is of course Hermes or the creative wisdom. Odin or Wodan in creating the first man from trees — the Ask (ash) and Embla (the alder)_ endowed them with life and soul, Honir with intellect, and Lodur with form and colour. | '''{{Style S-Small capitals|Odin}}'''.
