The climax of this myth would be when he tore out his eye. Odin, the king of gods, had tore out his eye for a drink of a well. Not any old well though, no, a well that would grant his knowledge of all things. When Odin tore out his eye, he made eye contact with Mirmir the whole time, not once flinching or crying out in pain, like a normal person would do. Once he had gouged his eye out of his skull, he gave the eye to Mirmir, which he proceeded to drop into the well.
