The later Edda tells us that he was ruler of Gotland "About the time that Emperor Augustus made peace all over the world; then Christ was born. As Frodi was the most powerful of all the kings in the Northern lands, all who spoke the Danish tongue attributed the peace to him , and the northmen called it the Peace of Frodi. No man did harm to another, even if he met the slayer of his father or his brother bound or loose; no thieves or robbers were found, so that a gold ring lay for a long time in Jalangr-heath" and it was not taken by anyone. These dates do not match up with the dates that I have listed for his life but since he probably never lived I suppose it doesn't really matter.

16. Odin (Woden, Woutan): Born about 215, of Asgard, Asia Or East Europe; Married about 236; Freya (Frigge): Born about 219, of Asgard, Asia Or East Europe. (See also Anglo-Saxon Monarchs) In Norse mythology, as preserved in the Icelandic Eddas (11th-12th centuries AD), Odin is the chief of the gods and the ruler of the universe. He was the son of the frost giant Bor and the giantess Bestla. Early in his career, together with his brothers Vili and Ve, Odin overthrew the primeval giant Ymir and fashioned the world from his remains.

Odin, his wife Freya, and the other major Norse divinities--Thor and Tyr--live in Asgard, near which is located Valhalla, where Odin was believed to feast with the spirits of slain warriors. At Ragnarok, the "twilight of the gods," Odin will lead his army against the giants led by Loki. Odin will be devoured by the wolf Fenrir but then be avenged by his son Vidar. Odin's sacred bird is the raven, and his principal weapon--in addition to his powerful runes, or magical spells--is the spear. He is depicted as tall, bearded, and one-eyed, having exchanged his other eye for wisdom.

In pre-Christian Scandinavia the Odin cult was apparently characterized by human sacrifice, which was usually accomplished by hanging the victim from a tree. The German form of his name is Woden, or Wotan; the name Wednesday is derived from Woden's day.

In Norse mythology, Freya, or Freyja, was the goddess of beauty and love. A beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed young woman, she was the sister of Frey and in later traditions the wife of Odin. Freya claimed half of the heroes slain in battle, carrying them to her realm of Folkvang in Asgard. Most of her myths concern attempts by the giants to abduct her. In Teutonic mythology, she was fused with the goddess Frigg. Friday is named for her.
