In this 1913 illustration, Odin has mounted Sleipner, his eight-legged horse. In Scandinavian (Norse) mythology, Odin was one of the chief gods and the ruler of Asgard (the country or capital of the Norse gods). He is often pictured with two ravens, Hugin (also Huginn - and meaning "thought") and Munin (also Muninn and meaning "memory") and two wolves, Geri and Freki (both meaning "greedy" or ravenous one"). This illustration dates to 1913.
