One Eyed Wanderer

Quite sexy. The woman on the right.
Babylonian Isthar morphed (they say, the historians) into Isis in Egypt. But her face reminds of something else.
Anyways.

I have never known this expression, "One eyed wanderer", until i listened to Elton John's song. Can you feel the love. Today i started to reason. Isis is the goddess of love, sex and war. What interests me now is her son, Horus. There are Egyptian amulets and papyri that represent Wadjet in the form of the eye of Horus.
But who in mythology of the people is an one eye god? Odin of course. And Odin's son's name, Thor, sounds a bit like Osiris' son's name, Horus. (BTW, numeral one in Russian is один).

We all know the importance of Norse gods in our lives. After all, in English they gave us the names of some of the days of the week. Odin for Wednesday, Thor for Thursday, Freya for Friday. The others, Sunday (day of Sun), Monday (day of Moon), Saturday (from Saturn) i guess come from the Romans. In French the name for Friday is venerdi. Freya and Venere are both godesses of love. Venus is Romanized Isis (note here the Roman name Lucifer for the sometimes horny godess Isis, horned Vikings). Wednesday is mercredi, mercoledi in Italian, obviously from wandering Mercury, Thursday is jeudi or jovedi from Jupiter of course (also a thunderous god) and mardi, martedi is for Mars. Wondering where samedi came from, cause i know about sabbato).

What else do we got. Pyramids. There are pyramids in Sweden or so they say.
