Three Cultural References

One of the main cultural references connected to me is a day of the week - Wednesday. This comes from another form of the spelling of my name, "Woden." The day was long ago called Wodensday, which changed over time into the day as we know it now - Wednesday.

Another reference to me is that me, Loki, and some other Norse mythological people have main roles in the novel American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

One of the most important references to me may be Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard Wagner, which is a series of four operas, in which I am one of the characters, under the name of Wotan (One of my Germanic mythological names.) I play the role of the king of the gods.
