Claim: Wōden is the Old English translation for Odin.
Evidence: In wider Germanic mythology and paganism , Odin was known in Old English as Wōden , in Old Saxon as Wōdan , and in Old High German as Wuotan or Wōtan , all stemming from the reconstructed Proto-Germanic theonym wōđanaz.
In Germanic mythology , Odin -LRB- from Old Norse Óðinn -RRB- is a widely revered god.
