I think Odin might actually be who you are looking for. In Norse mythology he is the god of wisdom - and a sage is a wise one - sooo that's gotta mean something.





As the story goes, he traded one of his eyes for a drink from the Well of Wisdom so he could gain great knowledge.

Reply:Cyclops


In Greek mythology, any of several one-eyed giants. In the Odyssey, the Cyclopes were cannibals who lived in a faraway land (traditionally Sicily). Odysseus was captured by the Cyclops Polyphemus, but he escaped being devoured by blinding the giant. According to Hesiod, there were three Cyclopes (Arges, Brontes, and Steropes) who forged thunderbolts for Zeus. In a later tradition, they were assistants to Hephaestus in this task. Apollo destroyed them after one of their thunderbolts killed Asclepius.
