The William Morris translation into old English prose is sheer genius. The breadth and depth of the story touches on all of the human emotions - which explains why this legend ? copied from the oral tradition in circa 1100 AD and possibly based on historical fact - has survived for over one thousand years. This particular translation of the heroic deeds of Sigur (Scandinavia version of the German Siegfried) and his love for the fallen Valkyrie Bruhnild - - is far more meaningful and tragic than the German film version popularized by Fritz Lang. Additionally - this version addresses the lifetimes of Sigur and his father Sigmund - - and is not "compressed" into a convenient time scale of years - - - but rather "flows across" decades and lifetimes. I highly recommend this book in addition to ALL of William Morris' translations of the Icelandic sages - e.g. Heimskringl.
