My suggestion is that it has to do with the association between Odin and Mercury, an association already made by Tacitus, who claimed that the Germanic peoples worshiped Mercury. This association manifests itself in the parallelity of the name of the third weekday in the Latin and many of the Germanic languages. The third day of the week is called Mercoledi ("the day of Mercury") in Italian and Wednesday ("Woden's day") in English, and Onsdag ("Odin's day") in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. Mercury, the messenger of the Roman gods, had wings on his ankles and was often portrayed with wings on his helmet as well. It seems plausible to suggest that when the iconography of Germanic mythology was created in mid 19th century art, the artists turned to the iconography of Mercury when they created the winged helmet of Odin. I am not aware of any mention of Odin wearing a winged helmet in old Germanic sources. (Eilif)
For years, the Philadelphia Eagles had a set of wings on their helmets. They had a green helmet, with a set of silver wings, one wing on each side of the helmet, and that's all there was on their helmet for a long time.
He only had wings on his helmet and sandals.
The helmet was given out a verryyyyy long time ago. It might come out again. Keep your eyes open!
you get drops if you kill things and you can get there swords or helmet or wings or armour
There wasn't any. There was a frost giant in eagle form, named Hräsvelg, who would beat his wings and blow the wind. Also, Odin's most primordial aspect is that of the wind.
Asterix's headwear is a winged helmet called a galea. This helmet is commonly associated with Gauls and Romans in ancient times. It is a distinctive part of Asterix's outfit, emphasizing his Gaulish warrior identity.
Odin does not hate Thor, Thor is the son of Odin.
