Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was reading about Mat today and found this, does it make sense to any of you?

According to prophecy, Mat will give up "half the light of the world to save the world", and in Egwene al'Vere's dreams has been seen to place his eye on a balance scale. Odin was half-blind, giving up his eye for knowledge.
Mat was hanged after bargaining to replace the holes in his memory; he says he was, "hanged for knowledge". Odin did the same to gain the knowledge of death.
Mat is a general, and one of Odin's divine domains is war.
The Aelfinn called Mat "Gambler" and "Son of Battles." Odin was known as the Gambler and was called Father of Battles.
Written on Mat's ashandarei is a poem bracketed by two ravens; the poem includes the line " ...thought is the arrow of time, memory never fades." Odin had two ravens, named Hugin and Munin: Thought and Memory.
Odin was often portrayed as wearing a wide brimmed hat, and carrying a spear, the same as Mat.
Odin's hall of Valhalla was filled with honored dead heroes who waited there to fight for him in the last battle, Ragnarok; Mat is the sounder of the Horn of Valere, which calls long dead heroes back to fight for him.
Odin's battle horse, Sleipnir, had, depending on the translation, six or eight legs. Mat's horse is named Pips (after the dots on a die), which could refer to a high roll of six or eight pips.
