OD

Also known as ODUR

Summer Sun God, and a little odd

He loved his promiscuous missus FREYA, but he was a bit of a flirt himself. Being tempted away by warmer climes, he headed south and left her out in the cold.

After many months she eventually found him in a distant land sunbathing under a tree. As soon as he saw her, OD's heart softened. He tore up the divorce papers and they were reconciled.

This might all sound like a half-hearted attempt to explain the origin of winter. But the story of OD is odd. It all comes down to the fact that may not even exist. Ancient sources give a very garbled account of him, and he is constantly mistaken for ODIN. Which is all the more confusing as he may actually be ODIN.

We at Godchecker are always knocking at the door of truth. One day we hope someone will answer. Till then, our entry on FREYA seems to be reasonably accurate.
