in the times of the ancient ancients it was believed that knowledge was the greatest treasure you could gross examples of Ancients-those Nordic gods were no strangers to this mindset, and more celebrated than any of them was Odin who actually thrived upon it.

Boasting a boundless passion for knowledge, Odin sought to gain ever greater amounts of understanding in every manner possible. This pursuit brought him to Mimir’s Well, otherwise called the Well of Wisdom, nestled among the roots of the world tree, Yggdrasil. Mimir the wise god, who protected the well, was said to offer those who drank from his waters the gift of wisdom.

But every gift costs something, and Mimir demanded Odin's eye in return.Without a second thought Odin plucked out one of his eyebahoals and dropped it into the well-It was a high price to pay for his understanding.

In a tale straight from Norse mythology, Odin gave away his eye for wisdom. However, one day he saw a well filled with pure water which belonged to Mimir, the god of wisdom and intelligence. It was this that the Well of Wisdom, out in Jotunheim, is supposed to hold an ocean of wisdom.

Not surprisingly, this attracted Odin who wanted knowledge more than anything else in life. But Mimir was not one to let just anyone drink from his fountain--the fee ran high, The price Mimir asked was Odin's eye. Since in itself wisdom is priceless, Odin agreed to Mimir's terms. He plucked out the eye and threw it into well; then drank.

From that day henceforward, Odin had not only his remaining physical eye but also a third eye, an All-Seeing eye by which he could penetratively view farther mysteries of Cosmos.

Odin traded his eye for wisdom. He wanted to drink from Mimir's Well which was said to bestow vast knowledge. To drink it, Mimir asked for his eye, and Odin agreed.

He gave up an eye and gained wisdom. Then he came to the spring of Mimir, hidden deep in the roots of the celestial tree Yggdrasil. Mimir, the deity guarding the well, allowed Odin to pull a drink from it with only one condition: he must give up one of his eyes.

Odin did not let the high price put him off; he was glad to give up an eye, and in thanks for this act he was rewarded with an understanding of the universe far beyond anyone else's. It was from that time on that he surpassed all others in wisdom, deeming it a small price to pay.

Fans of "One Piece" certainly know exactly how Roronoa Zoro, the indomitable swordsman, changed so drastically during the two-year timeskip in the series. Zoro lost his left eye as a result of a scar from his own steel. Before the timeskip, Zoro had both eyes in perfect condition. However, when the Straw Hat Pirates reassembled after two years, we learned that Zoro already had a characteristic scar running down his left eye and kept it permanently closed. This revelation immediately led to speculation and debate among the "One Piece" fandom. Yet no matter how hard anybody tries, the details of Zoro's eye-losing experience have always been stretching to seem curiously nebulous. There is no clear explanation for this in the film or the TV series itself. Fans end by speculating that Zoro probably lost the eye while training with Dracule Mihawk during the two-year break. Also known as "the world's greatest swordsman," Mihawk is a very experienced male practitioner of black magic, observe fans. Zoro was likely in some kind of training or massive brawl when he had his eye gouged out. However, this event has not been explained or showed up in the series yet, and Zoro keeping one of his eyes shut will remain as an unanswered question for the time being. Creator Eiichiro Oda has never been too eager to provide a full explanation about just how or why Zoro got his scar, the mysterious closed eye. The lack of deficiencies or specific missing motifs gives the initiated another magnificent tension waiting to be unfolded. Despite all the questions and theory, meanwhile, fans eagerly anticipate an episode throughout the future or some revelation that will appear in manga form.
