Ride of the Valkyries


According to Norse mythology, the Valkyries were the daughters or attendants of Odin, the chief god. The Norse believed the Valkyries came to battlefield, chose those who would die, and carried them back to Valhalla. Their leader was Brynhild. This illustration is based on a painting by Hermann Hendrich.
