- In Norse religion and mythology, Odin is a fairly complex figure, considered as:
- creator god (along with two brothers, not solo, and only after killing a monster to get the material)
- lord of heaven and of fates
- lord of the brave dead, of the fallen
- captain of gods against the thursar (who descend from the killed monster), who will be killed in the end times battle
- and, when he appears on earth, a dark wizard, a dark hunter and an ancestor of kings.
The last of these qualities may in some cases refer to a real human person.

- That’s movieverse rubbish. He was considered a god. Do you consider Jesus Christ a wizard?
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- Jews do. Some of them at least.

- There is no concept of wizardry in Judaism. In Jewish tradition, Joshua of Nazareth is recognized as an eminent teacher of Talmudic law.
- Hans-Georg Lundahl
- That’s one version, that of Pinchas Lapide.
There is a different one in Toledoth Yeshu.
I have tried to partially exonerate Judaism by considering the Yeshu it describes (at least prior to the execution narratives) could be in fact Odin rather than Jesus.
