Note 587 — Chapter XVIII · RELIGION IN THE HEROIC AGE.
Reading edition
The description in Grímnismál, str. 23, curiously recalls what is said of Egyptian Thebes in Il. IX 383 f. The nearest approach to Valhalla to be found among Northern kingdoms is Ibn Fadhlan's account of the Russian court; cf. Frähn, l.c. (p. 367, note).
