I know this question may be some off, but is the Mesopatamian Goddess "Tiamat" the same as "Dagon" from the Necronomicon?

It is said that Tiamat was slain by Marduk, as I was doing research on Mesopatamian Mythology. From my understanding, Dagon was known as a female as well, if not, androgynous, but not fully a male Old one.

Is Tiamat really the same as Dagon?

I thought Odin received his knowledge by hanging from a tree?

I think you're mixing it with the serpent of the tree of knowledge.

Greetings GMC Broom,

Odin left one of his eyes in the purifying waters of Mímir's spring in order to gain the wisdom of the ages.
