Maybe Odin was known as something else before hand and then became Odin

something like merlin ;D i mean for real go look at odins picture as the classic wanderer. he's a wizard through and through. plus we know odin was and technically still is human. he kept his soul through shear willpower.

which is interesting because if you trace both Odin and Herne back far enough you get Wodanz...

1) This WoJ doesn't seem to fit:
Odin seems quite clearly alive.
2) We learned that Odin was the one who taught the Merlin. Now I can't for the life of me remember where we learned this but I do remember it (help guys?). Odin being a close mentor of the Merlin also explains a number of your points.
Now I'm sure you could get around both of these points in some twisty way but that just seems overcomplicated.
The "eye" references are a pretty interesting find though. Kudos on that :).
WOOHOOO! I WAS RIGHT! ;D.

Odin was quite clearly dead at one point, wasn't he?
Who is to say that his whole adventure hanging from the tree wasn't part of his transformation from Merlin to Odin?
Also, what Ebenezer said to Harry at CI was couched as a rumor or legend, IIRC. Since Eb has Merlin's journals I would imagine that if Merlin said that Odin taught him that Ebenezer would have made a more definitive statement.
Ms Duck:
Odin having been a human or demi human who goes on quests to gain immortality is part of some of the older stories about him; and he wasn't the nicest guy in the world either.
