Modern Good Reads discussion

I am going to post a mythical person, place or thing.

If you know them, post what you know, if you don't and are interested...research and post.

No winners or losers, just a friendly, "I know that one!" kudos will go to you.

This is a twofer: Elysian, Vallhalla and what's the difference?

The third challenge of the day:

Elysian or Elysian Fields are the Greek version of paradise, where those that did well in life are rewarded in death.

Valhalla: This is from the Norse, created by Odin solely for those that died honorably in battle. This is not exactly a paradise. It is a training ground for the final battle of Ragnarok. None who die of sickness or old age are rewarded here, as the Norse value valor, honor, and battle above all.

Excellent Drako!

Elysian fields are the Greek "Heaven" where all the good souls go. Usually supposed to be a sunlit field of beautiful outdoors things.

Valhalla is the immortal feasting hall of Odin where people who died bravely in battle are selected by the Valkyries and ushered there to feast forever with Odin. If you do not die bravely in battle you don't get to go there. Not sure where they do go, but it ain't to the big fat daddy feast LOL!
