King of the gods in Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (5)

I believe the answer is:

wotan

(Other definitions for wotan that I've seen before include "Germanic god" , "Another name for Odin" , "Wagnerian head god" , "Teutonic god in the Ring Cycle" , "Supreme god" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
