Richard Wagner believed that Odin (Wotan) was “nothing more than a declining spirit,” akin to the Athenian man, who represented an overemphasis on logic, reason, and law that has led to the decline of our race. This decline is symbolized by Odin’s sacrifice of his right eye in pursuit of knowledge, which severed him from the spiritual world and wisdom. The decline of the “race of the gods” could only be remedied by a new figure surpassing and replacing Odin. In the “Ring Cycle,” Wagner maps out a path for this evolved archetype. This new figure, having integrated his anima and animus, would embrace love and emotion once more, thereby recapturing the lost wisdom within the race and potentially saving it, an archetype that would inspire Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch.
