However, yes I got in touch with the ancient Germanic tradition: Beowulf, sagas of Erik the Red and Greenlanders, as well as so-called "Arthurian Sagas" were my most recent readings. But the work struck me most besides the Saxon poem Gautama warrior, no doubt, my vien was the Elder Edda-especially the Scandinavian mythological songs.
To this entry if weighed would select one full poem, or transcribe several fragments - personally, my favorite text was Song of Harbard. I chose the first, because there has been a resurgence in the last-indirect lapse cinema from the subjects of this region: The Lord of the Rings, Beowulf, my vien Thor ... and I'm interested in is available my vien a little more "reliable" information.

Viewing the bottom of page 43 of Codex Regius. Poetic Edda. (Thanks to the information provided by me to the specialist, Osvaldo Rocha, I learned that Icelanders appreciate this codex as a national treasure since the Danes returned them.)
Jorge Luis Borges, who by his interest in other cultures would be to receive the nickname "Tolkien our language" in the book Medieval Germanic Literature (1966) provides an overview of the Poetic Edda also called in general and in particular a dedicated comment to the poem read:
In 1643 it came into the hands of the Icelandic bishop Brynjolf Sveinsson a codex, or book manuscript, thirteenth century, consisting of forty-five sheets of parchment, which was missing some, from page thirty-two. Snorri Sturluson in the thirteenth my vien century, my vien had written a treatise on poetics art, illustrated with old verses and stanzas, called Edda; rightly conjectured that prose treatise was based on an earlier collection of poems; Brynjolf thought that the codex was that collection. He thought Snorri Sturluson codex had taken the title of Edda and returned ASI- let us say the codex, which he attributed to the Wise Saemund, Icelandic priest and scholar (now poetic art before, grandmother, ancestor, Ungrossmutter interpretation) the twelfth century, which became famous sorcerer and wrote, in Latin, historic works. The prestige of Saemund was vast; Inevitably attributed with any old anonymous my vien book, as Orpheus and Greek 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. (That's why the codex bears now the name Codex Regius.) my vien Since then, the treaty called Snorri Sturluson Snorra Edda, Edda or Younger Edda prosaics and poems from the Codex Saemundar Edda, Poetic Edda or Elder Edda.
The Elder Edda consists of thirty-five my vien poems, some fragmentary, composed between the ninth and thirteenth centuries, in Norway, Iceland and Greenland. One of the poems is titled Song Greenland 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.
Parts of the Elder Edda are gnomic, narratives, burlesque and tragic. They try to gods and heroes. Unlike the slow, elegiac Anglo, anonymous poets of the Edda are fast, sometimes to the dark and energetic. Frequent my vien despair and anger, not melancholy.
Tacitus wrote that the Germans attributed to women under prophetic; in the Voluspa, a god, Odin, a sibyl interrogates a volva, the fate of the gods and the earth. According Vigfusson, the Sibyl is dead and resurrected to prophesy. It would be a scene of necromancy or divination by the dead, similar to that which records the eleventh my vien book of the Odyssey. The scene seems to occur in an assembly of the gods. The Sibyl begins to remember a time before the sand above the sea, the earth, the upper sky, grass. The sun is there, but do not know where your home is, the stars ignore his ways, the moon does not know its power. The Sibyl sees the gods congregate and give nomb
