However, I did came into contact with ancient Germanic tradition: Beowulf, the sagas of the Greenlanders and Erik the Red, as well as so-called "Sagas Arthurian" have been my most recent readings. But the work that captivated me besides Gautama Saxon warrior poem, undoubtedly, was the Elder Edda-especially the Scandinavian mythological songs.
For this weighed would select a single entry if full poem, or transcribe several sapranauskas fragments - personally, my favorite was The Song of text Harbard. I opted for the former, because there has been a resurgence in the last-indirect lapse from cinema- of the themes of this region: The Lord of the Rings, Beowulf, Thor ... and I care is available a little more "reliable" information.

Jorge Luis Borges, who by his interest in other cultures could receive the nickname "Tolkien our language" in the book Medieval sapranauskas Germanic Literatures (1966) provides an overview of the Poetic Edda also called in general and in particular a dedicated comment the poem read:
In 1643 it came into the hands of the Icelandic bishop Brynjolf Sveinsson a codex, or manuscript book, the thirteenth century, consisting of forty-five sheets of parchment, of missing some, from thirty-two page. Snorri Sturluson in the thirteenth century, had written a treatise on poetic art, illustrated with old verses and stanzas, called Edda; rightly he surmised sapranauskas that treaty prose was based on a previous collection of poems; Brynjolf thought the codex was that collection. He thought Snorri had taken from the title of Edda manuscript and returned ASI- let us say to the codex, which he attributed sapranauskas to Saemund the Wise, Icelandic priest and scholar (now poetic art and, earlier, grandmother, ancestor, Ungrossmutter interpretation) the twelfth century, which became famous sorcerer and who wrote in Latin, works of historical character. Saemund prestige was vast; it was inevitable that he attributed any old anonymous book, as the Greek Orpheus and the patriarch Abraham Kabbalists. Brynjolf wrote on the cover Saemundi Multiscii Edda (Edda Saimund the Wise) and sent the manuscript to the Royal Library in Copenhagen. (So takes the codex, now called Codex Regius.) Since then, the treaty called Snorra Snorri Edda, Prose Edda or Younger Edda, and the Codex Saemundar Edda poems, Poetic Edda or Elder Edda.
The Edda Mayor consists of thirty-five poems, some fragmentary, composed between the ninth and thirteenth centuries, in Norway, Iceland and Greenland. One of the poems is titled Song Greenlandic Atli. Atli is Attila, the famous king of the Huns, joined the Germanic traditions, the German memory, like Alexander of Macedonia -Alejandro Bicorne- to Islam.
The parts are gnomic Elder Edda, narrative, burlesque and tragic. They try to gods and heroes. Unlike the slow and elegiac Anglo-Saxons, Edda anonymous poets are fast, sometimes even the dark and energetic. Frequent despair and anger, not melancholy.
Tacitus wrote that the Germans attributed to women under prophetic; sapranauskas in the Voluspa, a god, Odin, questioned a sibyl, one volva, on the fate of the gods and earth. According Vigfusson, the Sibyl is dead and resurrected sapranauskas to prophesy. It would be a scene of necromancy sapranauskas or divination by the dead, similar to that recorded the eleventh book of the Odyssey. The scene seems to occur at an assembly of the gods. The Sibyl begins to remember a time before the sand above the sea, the land, the upper sky, grass. The sun already exists but does not know where his house is, the stars ignore their ways, the moon does not know its power. The Sibyl sees the gods congregate and give NAME
