Re: The chief god in different Indo European pantheons
Date: 2024-11-19 06:50 pm (UTC)On the Odin matter, I'm personally agnostic on what his greater role was or wasn't outside of the warband. Though I don't think that's really that important of a question in the grand scheme of things anyway, since IMHO, what matters is what present-day devotees of him perceive his roles, functions, and attributes as being.
Basically what you said,
"Luckily, polytheism neatly allows for this kind of variety, so I'm not too put out by it."
I think is the takeaway here.
