The gods of most European pantheons were not omniscient in the same sense as the Abrahamic god, but they did have knowledge far beyond that of humans, and some were for all intents and purposes omniscient(such as Odin, who sacrificed his eye for knowledge.) There were also some deities who were omniscient in a particular area, such as the Norns, who knew everything about each human's lifespan.
