In various mythologies, the wise god known for his knowledge is Thoth in Egyptian mythology or Odin in Norse mythology. Thoth is associated with wisdom, writing, and magic, holding the crucial role of recording the past and maintaining cosmic order. Odin, revered in Norse tradition, sacrifices for knowledge, including hanging from the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Both figures illustrate the value placed on knowledge, exploration, and the quest for understanding. Their stories emphasize that wisdom often requires sacrifice and a deep commitment to uncovering the mysteries of existence.
