How curious that the Odin/Mercury figure became more centralized in Germanic cultures while remaining less so in the the Greco-Roman. If Odin, like Hermes/Mercury, is a guardian of souls to the afterlife, what might it say about the Norse/Germanic psyche, or the human mind in general, to have a psychopomp as a “most worshiped” god?
