Half of the warriors who die in battle are taken to his hall of Valhalla.
He is the one-eyed All-Father, who sacrificed his eye in order to see everything that happens in the world. Odin appears as a prominent god throughout the recorded history of Northern Europe, from the Roman occupation of regions of Germania, the dispersion of peoples during the Migration Period and the Viking Age. In the modern period the rural folklore of Germanic Europe continued to acknowledge Odin. References to him appear in place names throughout regions historically inhabited by the ancient Germanic peoples, and the day of the week Wednesday bears his name in many Germanic languages, including English.
