Who do you think the victor would be if these 2 mighty GODS had to battle to the death!

Well Odin, duh. He's got the cool sword and spear, AND a horse! What's Zeus got, some silly taser and a toga? Pfft.

Well, Odin is the wisest of the gods, and is both a wargod and a powerful shaman (Some say he is the god of war, storms, death and 'poetry' - but I don't know about that). Being biased and all, I suspect that he would royally kick Zeus' ass.

If somehow Zeus would get the upper hand, I suppose Odin could run away on his eight-legged horse... :D

Oh, Odin will whac Zeus. Period.

(Needs more posts, but will not spam...)

zeus' thunderbolts would allow him to beat odin from a distance.

however, if you're talking 'celebrity deathmatch' in an enclosed space, odin would definitely have the edge- as he would be used to battle after constant war with the jotnar.

anyway, weren't norse gods supposed to be mortal? if so, then zeus should be triumphant.

i would win.

Whos Odin anyways?

From what I hear of the few posts I'm a little torn.

Odin is the mightiest of the gods in norse mythology...

Nice history lesson (http://odin.dep.no/odin/engelsk/norway/history/032005-990465/index-dok000-b-n-a.html) (Verbose mode on ;) )
Somewhere on that page, there is a section called "Who were the most important gods?"

Definitely Odin. Worst case, he could always throw is other eye at Zues ...

What about an all-out pantheon grudge match???

Tyr would kick Aries bootie
Thors verses Hercules ... no question
Lokki might get whooped by Hermes
Apollo would turn Balder into a Pin Cushion ...


Any more?

Freya would probably dire charm the whole lot, ruining the fight...

I forgot to mention I have thier AD&D stats:) They both have 25's in all 6 abilities and 400 HP each. Zeus is 25th level Cleric,17th level Fighter,20th level Magic User,20th level Illusionist and 15th level Bard. Odin is 30th level Cleric,14th level Druid,18th level Ranger,30th level Magic User, and 15th level Bard.

Against that spear of Odin's, Zeus wouldn't stand a chance, close combat or no. Odin would probably win without the spear anyway...

Now, Sæhrimnir versus Cerebus? Cerebus would likely win. And then win again... And again... And again... And so on. ;)

Zeus would definitely win, I have read a vast amount of mythology, and Zeus can fight very well and he fights dirty, compared to Odin, he is the better god.

How about the monsters?

Garm vs. Fenrir
Jormugand vs. the Hydra
Can't think of any more . . .

Odin Vs. Zeus. hmmm

Zeus has lightning right? And a bigger beard

Wednesday is actually named after Odin, Wuden's day. Wuden being a Scandinavian pronoucation, something like that.

Anyway Odin's cooler but Zeus is immortal and Odin is not. Odin has to eat golden apples to retain his age and youth. Mortal vs. Immortal ??!? 'nuff said.

How is Zeus Immortal? If he exists he can die!

Wednesday is called 'onsdag', which is short for Odin's Dag, or 'Odin's Day'.

Considering that Odin was also the god of storms and bad weather in general, 'onsdag' is not considered a 'lucky' day. You're not supposed to move into a new house, or get married, or do anything potentially hazardous on a 'onsdag'.

[EDIT:] In case you wondered, you should do the aforementioned things on Tuesdays - which is Tyr's day... ;) ('tirsdag')

did some research. looks like the clover and i are right. odin was mortal, therefore zeus should win.

Well Zeus whacks and Aphrodite charms...;)
They could kick some butt...:lol::lol:
Except Heras,of course.:rolleyes:

PowerPuff ... you can actually do that to most of the days of the week.

Sun Day & Moon Day
Tua's Day (minor norse goddess of nature IIRC)
Wuden's Day
Tyr's Day
Friya's Day

Hehe...Zeus, even if I WASN'T Greek. ;)

I have a day named after my middle name! Yay! :p

Mathetais: I know. My point was that I've never heard of anything called "Wuden's Day" (at least not in Scandinavia), and I suppose I got a bit carried away ;). What does "Wuden" mean anyway?

Wednesday.
Woden's Day.
Odin's day.

Interesting. In French it'd be mercredi = Mercury's day.

i agree with CL. it would make more sense for the names of our (english language) days to stem from latin (and therefore roman gods). :hmm:

Lundi - moon day (also in English Monday)
Mardi - mars day
Mercredi - Mercury
Jeudi - Jupiter (Jupiter/Jove)
Vendredi - Venus

yep, its all coming back to me now! :book:

Why would it make more sense for the names of the days in the English language to be of Roman gods? English isn't based completely on Latin, but also on the German and the Celtic language.

As for who would win Odin or Zeus, I think it would be a draw.
