Research: Odin’s Blind Eye

Prompt: Which of Odin’s eyes was blinded?

Copilot: According to Norse mythology, Odin sacrificed his right eye at Mimir’s well in exchange for wisdom. This act symbolized his relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding. What other mythological stories are you exploring?

Prompt: The Butcher is temporarily blinded in his left eye from swelling after an injury. I was wondering if there was a potential parallel to Odin. The Butcher received no wisdom from his lossCopilot: That’s a fascinating parallel, even if it’s an ironic one. Odin sacrificed his right eye for wisdom, while The Butcher loses sight in his left eye without any gain. It highlights the stark difference between mythic sacrifice and brutal reality. The injury could symbolize the heavy toll of war and leadership, emphasizing his struggle and the cost of his decisions.

Currently, I am a drafter and plodding editor of my own fiction stories. Looking towards the future when edited stories turn into published ones.

Here I am starting to bare my soul to give you a preview of what I have been working on.

See “Harvest of Blood” in this site’s menu bar for a preview of a draft chapter from Boudica and The Butcher, a novel set in a future Second American Civil War.
