Hi Everyone. I'm new to the forum, and this is my first post.
I've been trying to do some research into "wanderer" characters in mythology. I seem to remember years ago reading a book that mentioned a character who wandered the world and watched and recorded as ages came and went. I seem to remember the myth was Norse, but I can't find any reference to such a character. This is similar in concept to The Wandering Jew.
Can anyone help me find similar characters in various mythologies? A character who wanders the land chronicling or watching as new ages begin and old ages end, either because that's his role or because he is cursed to do so?
Thanks.
