A Brief (Further) Shiva – Odin Synopsis
It's been awhile since I attempted to do a … relatively succinct 'synopsis' run-through of Shiva, Odin comparanda (viz. the Indo-European Sky Father deific complex); and so, most of my reply to this gentleman's good-natured inquiry upon the subject.

On Disregarding The Puranic Era Mythos When Seeking To Make Sense Of The (Proto-)Indo-European
