How Odin Lost His Eye

Odin sacrificed his eye to the wise being Mimir in exchange for knowledge that would help him protect his people from giants. By giving up his eye, Odin proved that he was willing to make personal sacrifices to ensure the safety of his family and his people. Though he loved his son Balder dearly, Odin chose to give up part of himself rather than let any harm come to the people he had sworn to protect. His selfless act demonstrated that he was a true hero who always put the needs of others before his own.
