"Wodens Day" is an Old English term that refers to Wednesday, named after the Norse god Odin (Woden). In many Germanic languages, the day's name is similarly derived from this deity, reflecting its ancient pagan roots. The term highlights the influence of mythology on the naming of days in the week. Today, Wednesday is commonly recognized as the middle of the workweek in many cultures.
