Things Zig comptime won't do

The story is indeed very short, but hits hard. Odin reveals himself and his mystical disc that he states makes him king as long as he holds it. The Christian hermit (by circumstance) who had previously received him told him he didn't worship Him, that he worshiped Christ instead, and then murdered him for the disc in the hopes he could sell it for a bunch of money. He dumped Odin's body in the river and never found the disc. The man hated Odin to this day for not just handing over the disc to him.

I wonder if there's some message in here. As a modern American reader, if I believed the story was contemporary, I'd think it's making a point about Christianity substituting honor for destructive greed. That a descendant of the wolves of Odin would worship a Hebrew instead and kill him for a bit of money is quite sad, but I don't think it an inaccurate characterization. There's also the element of resentment towards Odin for not just handing over monetary blessings. That's sad to me as well. Part of me hopes that one day Odin isn't held in such contempt.
