So this Tiwaz character claims (in his own thoughts, yet) to be Thor's
great-grandfather, and by implication, Odin's grandfather.  Is there *any*
mythological basis to this?  I always thought that Odin was right there
close to the beginning of the Asgardian (Aesiric?) line.

I am glad that the discrepancy between Odin's two origins has at least
been mentioned.  Are we just going to discard the Odin's-eye version of
Odin's origin as the fusion of elder gods?  I'd like to dismiss everything
that the eye said as a fairy tale, but the eye told Thor that his mother was
the Earth-spirit, which Mother Earth herself verified in Thor #301.
