Thus, much like with Týr, Odin confronted Mimir, suspecting that he aided the Giants. As punishment, Odin imprisoned him on Midgard's highest peak, bound to a tree made indestructible even to Thor's hammer.
However, as fond as the mythological Odin is of his son Thor (who he had with Jörð , not with his wife Frigg), his favorite child is generally understood to be Baldr, who is Frigg's son.
Freya hates Mimir under the falsely belief that he brokering her marriage with Odin just to end the war between the Aesir and Vanir but instead made the war even worse.
Mímir told Odin that he could drink from the waters of the well and gain divine wisdom, but only if he made a sacrifice. So how did Odin lose his eye? He plucked it out himself and offered it to Mímir as payment for his newfound wisdom. In some myths, Odin's one eye remains in Mímir's well.
Why Mimir Worked For ODIN and Why ODIN Punished Him Scene - God of War PS5
Why couldn t they revive Brok?
She can't revive him like how she did with Mimir either. Brok doesn't even get an afterlife sense he lost his direction the part of the soul responsible for leading to an afterlife.
Straight away, Brok's most notable attribute is his deep blue complexion, a trait of which developed after his first death and not by natural means. It can be assumed he previously had the same tan skin tone Sindri has, although this is unknown.
When accused of aiding the giants alongside Tyr, Mimir was punished to be tortured upon the highest peak of Midgard, and no one would be able to break the branches holding him. According to Mimir, he has been tortured for 109 winters, and states that Odin punishes him on a daily basis.
He sacrificed his eye in Mimir's well and he threw himself on his spear Gungnir in a kind of symbolic, ritual suicide. He then hanged himself in Yggdrasil, the tree of life, for nine days and nine nights in order to gain knowledge of other worlds and be able to understand the runes.
And this is why he can be called All-father, that he is father of all gods and of men and of everything that has been brought into being by him and his power. The earth was his daughter and his wife. Out of her he begot the first of his ons, that is Asa-Thor.
She didn't care that her husband angered the gods as mortal even after he became a god himself she still loved. Though she cheated on him and loved many different men she was heartbroken when she found out he left Valhalla/Asgard because of her actions.
Later, during their quest to the Well of Urd, a spectral visage of Sigrun denounced Mimir as always taking the side of powerful gods, accusing him of plotting Odin's wars and standing idly by while innocents like Gróa or Skaði suffered at the hands of the Allfather, never caring until Odin eventually turned on him.
Unable to cope with her husband's growing madness and his even more despicable actions, Freya attempted to break free from Odin who, in a burst of madness, cursed the Vanir goddess and deprived her from her warrior spirit.
Odin may be the father of the God of Thunder but there's a lot of evidence that Hela is actually his strongest offspring. Odin's firstborn daughter, Hela, is one of the most powerful gods in Marvel. She appeared in the 2017's Thor: Ragnarok film as the main villain.
Baldur, which is also spelled Baldr or Balder, is a god in Norse mythology. The son of Odin and Frigg and the brother of Thor, Hodur, and other gods, he is primarily associated with light and beauty. Baldur is beloved by his fellow gods for his beauty, wisdom, and peaceful nature.
In Norse mythology, Loki's motivation behind killing Balder is ambiguous. Some versions say that he killed Balder out of jealousy for the attention he was receiving, or anger from his boasting of his immortality.
So while Zeus' best feat is defeating a mountain-sized monster, Odin's best feat is defeating a monster as big as nine worlds. Odin outclasses Zeus in intelligence, versatility, strength, and weapons. Zeus simply can't compete. The winner is Odin, All-Father of the Æsir.
Originally Answered: In mythology, Odin gained a large part of his power by hanging himself from Yggdrasil for 9 days and 9 nights. Does this mean that, supposedly, a human could have hung himself from Yggdrasil as well, and become a god? Yggdrasil was kind of a Tree of Knowledge in Norse lore.
Son of Borr and the giantess (jötunn) Bestla, Odin is the chief of the Æsir (all the Germanic gods) and king of Asgard. He is married to the goddess Frigg, and is father to the gods Thor, Baldr, Höðr, Víðarr, and Váli.
Mimir, in Norse mythology, the wisest of the gods of the tribe Aesir; he was also believed to be a water spirit. Mimir was sent by the Aesir as a hostage to the rival gods (the Vanir), but he was decapitated and his head was returned to the Aesir.
Mimir is only the smartest man alive because of his breadth of knowledge on most topics. He's rather intelligent analytically to boot, but he doesn't have any special powers of foresight or deduction. It's only natural for them all to get fooled by Tyr. He'd been tortured near daily for who knows how long.
The ”Týr” that Kratos and Atreus had freed in Svartalfheim was actually Odin in disguise, who posed as his own son as a means to infiltrate Kratos' circle of allies and know their plans. This also unexpectedly led him to discover the secret prophecies that the Jötnar had hidden in their shrines.
“Brok dies, and then that serves as the catalyst to take the fight to Odin,” said Ragnarok story lead Richard Gaubert in a recent interview with Waypoint. “The last thing that we wanted was to have a gung-ho glorification of war. There had to be casualties, both physically and emotionally, and it really had to hurt.
Brok questioned everything Tyr did or said, and when the God of War mentioned a path to Asgard, Brok understood that Tyr wasn't really all he claimed to be. Once Brok made everyone around him similarly doubt the disguise, this forced Odin's hands and led to the All-Father killing the dwarf before making his escape.
