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. -Jack "1/256 vulcan" Applin (hplabs!hp-dcd!jack)
