silwritersguild | Sigurd & Gudrun read-along:5th and final week

This is the final week (4 May to 10 May) of the Sigurd & Gudrun read-along on the dedicated channel on the SWG Discord server.

Today we begin reading the Appendices:

Appendix A on the origins of the Legend, with sections on (I) Attila and Gundahari (the historic figures), and (II) Sigmund, Sigurd and the Nibelungs (the more legendary or mythological figures);
Appendix B containing another version of the Prophecy of the Sibyl (the Voluspa from the Edda), a version that is independent of the first section of the Lay of the Volsungs (Upphaf) and in a different metrical form (stanzas of rhyming couplets);
Appendix C containing two fragments of an Old English poem by Tolkien (with translation and commentary), closely based on a Scandinavian poem from the Edda, entitled Attila (after the title of the Edda poem), and dealing with Gunnar’s decision to accept Atli’s invitation and Gunnar’s death.

Do feel free to join in and comment, even if you haven't before!
