Notes

wikipedia:en:Odin

ATTENTION RESEARCHERS. The identification of Aulus Didius Gallus as a candidate for the Historical Odin is based on new research cross referencing Roman Records with Scandinavian and Gaelic records. Much of it is based on understanding of naming conventions.

Eyludr Darradr as Aulus Didius Gawr

In the sagas Odin is referred to Eylúðr Darradr (meaning Quaking Eyes, a symptom of Anaridia called Nystigmus) and elsewhere as Audun Langbarðr (The Langobard indicating a connection to the eastern cult of the Nazarines). Again in the Gylfaginning, Skáldskaparmál, and Grímnismál, he is called "Þriði (Thridi or the Third) which corresponds to the Roman Tertio/Tertius or Gallic "Tres" Welsh Tirs/Tyrs (meaning The Third).

Based on the naming conventions, biographical details, geographic dispersion, and genealogies of the "sons of Odin" lead me to believe that the mythic Odin is actually a composite God whose nature reflects the combined histories and atributes of several historic men from the same Gens/Family. The male members of the family of Aulus [the Roman conquestedore] should be considered together as providing the most likely candidate for an historical Odin.

Aulus Audius and the fortification of Cardiff

"The town of Cardiff was originally founded by Aulus Oedius about A. D. 53, Audius was known to the Welsh as Didi Gawr. This town was for many years the seat of his successors. The Britons named the town for one Caeridi, the successor of Aulus. The town's name was corrupted over time into the Gaelic form Caerdydd, Caerdyf, and Cardiff. The Pronomen Caesius used by some of the later members of the Aula family is a the name of a color and was used to describe an individual with Blue/Green Eyes.The family/gens name of Aula, means I see (Aulus I am seeing). - Almoustine

The Diefication of a Warlord

The belief in Odin gradually worked to replace the more dominant worship of Tyr throughout the Germanic world shortly before the Crisis of the Third Century. The more advanced nature of Odin as a god of poetry, war, knowledge, and leadership in comparison with the previous belief in the very simple god of war and will (Tyr) implies that worship of Odin began to replace the earlier cult of Tyr only shortly before the Christianization of Germania. Odin is historically more so worshiped in Scandinavia than elsewhere although his worship was also observed in Germany and England as far as evidence is available today. The fact that the Asartro became largely institutionalized in Scandinavia is due to the effects of cultural isolation in the wake of Rome's collapse. While the Christianization of the early German kingdoms (Gothic, Saxon, and Frankish), occurred from the 5th century under Chlodwig to the 9th under Karl the Great (Charlemagne), it wasn't until the missionary efforts of Adam of Bremen and his fellows in 1050 that the conversion of the Scandinavian people was attempted in any sort of organized way.

That Odin is credited with having formulated the Runic alphabet, which appeared in inscriptions from the 2nd century onward, indicates that he was highly literate and probably civilized as well. There are many ancient wooden sculptures and statues of a one-eyed god in Germany, England, and Scandinavia that predate the advent of the Roman Republic, the mythological belief in a one-eyed, yet all-seeing god may or may not have been imported into the worship of the new historical chieftain Odin as an embodiment of this god of the sky. - James Mayfield, Chairman of the European Heritage Library)
