Between Two Ravens: A Norse Mythology Podcast S4E20 Volsung XII: The Deaths of Sigurd and Brynhild
Dec 21, 2023
53:51
David and Shawn discuss chapters 30 and 31 of the Saga, which features in back to back chapters the deaths of 2 major characters, in this case Sigurd the Dragon Slayer of the House of Volsung, and Brynhild the Valkyrie.
Brynhild at this point is still depressed over her inability to affect her fate in life, specifically with her inability to be with Sigurd. As she has found out that Sigurd himself played a part in her downfall, she gives her husband Gunnar (and Sigurd's Blood-Brother) an ultimatum. One choice, he can perhaps finally appease his wife, OR, he can betray his oath to Sigurd in front of gods and men.
As we will learn, and if you haven't noticed, this story never was fated to have a happy ending for the family.
