Odin, chief among the Norse Gods, and similar to the Greek Zeus, and Roman Jupiter, was the Ruler of Aesir. Odin was the God of War, Poetry, Wisdom, and Death. It was Odin who sent Valkyries, beautiful winged women, to gather the most heroic Viking warriors slain in battle to fill the mighty banquet Hall, Valhalla.
