July 25– “The Lay of Brynhild” from the "Elder Edda" translated by Eiríkr Magnússon and William Morris

July 25– “The Lay of Brynhild” from the Elder Edda translated by Eiríkr Magnússon and William Morris

Summary: Sigurd gets Caesered.

Commentary: Tiny (and incomplete) fragment today, so not a ton to say. I'm kind of surprised this is only the second time 15MAD was from the Eddas, considering how much Aeneid, Odyssey, and Iliad. I guess since it has to share the "Norse Nights" with Beowulf.
