“This is why we have so many stories of Odin’s favourites killed either by him or through his agency. A treacherous god, who betrays his faithful? - more accurately: a wild god, no more to be controlled than Dionysus; like the latter he can fill his faithful with power and raise them to superhuman heights. But they belong to him, and to claim them is his right.” - Kris Kershaw, One-Eyed God
