As an expert in literature and mythology, I can tell you that the phrase "the one-eyed king" is a reference that can be found in various contexts. One of the most common uses is from the television series "Game of Thrones," where the character Varys refers to a metaphorical figure known as "the one-eyed king" to illustrate the idea that in a world of the blind, the man with one eye is king. This metaphor suggests that even a small advantage can make one superior in a context where others have none.

Another possible reference is to the Norse mythology, where Odin is often depicted as a one-eyed god, having sacrificed one of his eyes to drink from the Well of Wisdom. However, Odin is not referred to as "the one-eyed king" in the traditional myths; he is known as the Allfather and the chief of the Aesir gods.

In literature and fantasy, the phrase can be used to describe a leader who, despite a significant flaw or disability, is still considered the most powerful or influential figure in their domain.
