Germanic mythology by Emil Doepler younger


Odin, father of the Germanic gods, lived in a palace in Asgard. In here you could find the Valhalla, the place where the Valkyries, under the orders of Freya, carried the fallen heroes on the battlefields. (Martin Oldenburg; Walhall, die Götterwelt der Germanen, Berlin 1900).
