Odin, or Allfather is a god of war and death, but also the god of poetry and wisdom. The tidings are brought to him by his two raven Huginn and Muninn. He is accompanied by the wolves Freki and Geri, to whom he gives his food for he himself consumes nothing but wine. Odin has only one eye, his other eye he traded for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, and gained immense knowledge. His steed, Sleipnir has eight legs. (I couldn't figure out how to paint an eight-legged horse without making it look really goofy.)

Nice one Dan. Reminds me of a really rude joke I know about the Norse Gods, Odin and Thor. Couldn't possibly post it here, but I'll tell it to anyone who emails me. --- Top work my man.jeff blascyk 01 Feb 2006
