God's position above Odin, strangely (8)
I believe the answer is:
poseidon
'god's' is the definition.
(Poseidon is an example)
'position above odin strangely' is the wordplay.
'position' becomes 'pose' (posing is a kind of positioning**).
'above' says to put letters next to each other.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'odin' is an anagram of 'idon'.
'pose'+'idon'='POSEIDON'
(Other definitions for poseidon that I've seen before include "associated with adventure on screen" , "deity" , "Poisoned the Greek god of the sea" , "Controller of the main" , "underwater missile" .)
