These similarities include appearance, responsibilities, dwelling, manliness, actions and interactions with mortals and gods. These similarities often coincide with one another. Their interaction with mortals shows their manliness and their dwelling helps them in their responsibilities, but each of these similarities will be explored separately in detail throughout this paper. There are so many great similarities between Odin and Zeus that it would take a novel to describe them all so only the important ones, and why they are important, will be discussed here.
