In
Norse mythology the valkyries (
Old Norse Valkyrja "Choosers of the Slain") are
dísir, minor female deities, who served
Odin. The valkyries' purpose was to choose the most heroic of those who had died in battle and to carry them off to
Valhalla where they became
einherjar. This was necessary because Odin needed warriors to fight at his side at the preordained battle at the end of the world,
Ragnarök. In Valhalla the valkyries also “serve drink and look after the tableware and drinking vessels” (
Prose Edda Gylfaginning 36).
