Sigrdrífa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Norse mythology, Sigrdrífa (Old Norse "victory-urger"^[1] or "inciter to victory"^[2]) is a valkyrie. She appears in Sigrdrífumál as the mentor of Sigurd. In the Poetic Edda she is identified with Brynhildr. Some scholars have doubted that this identification is original, seeing the roles of Sigurd's mentor and lover as too distinct to belong to the same character.
