  Literary Encyclopedia: Deor
Deor is the name given by modern scholars to a short Old English poem which is preserved in a single manuscript, the large miscellany of Old English verse known as the Exeter Book (Exeter Dean and Chapter MS 3501).
Deor does not give the narrative in full, but assumes that its reader will know this story, which appears to have been well known in several Germanic cultures, although it also bears a strong resemblance to the story of Daedalus's escape from Minos.
This is, according to Deor, a greater cause of sorrow for her than the death of her two brothers at Wayland's hands.

The elegy of Deor is a much shorter poem than Widsith (42 lines in all) and in its general tone presents a striking contrast to it.
While Widsith tells of the glory of famous heroes and, incidentally, of the minstrel’s own success, Deor is taken up with stories of misfortune, which are brought forward in illustration of the poet’s troubles.

Deor (or The Lament of Deor) is an Old English poem from the 10th century, preserved in the Exeter Book.
Among the miseries and poor fates that Deor runs through, we have Theodoric the Great, Ermanaric of the Goths, and the mythological smith Weyland.
At the poem's conclusion, Deor says that he was once a great poet among the Heodenings (presumably some Germanic people), until he was displaced and sent wandering by Heorrenda, a more skillful poet.

 Deor's Lament
The Middle High German hero-epic Kudrun is also significantly altered remake of this tale, in which King Hettel (MHG Hetele) dispatches his men (Wate, Horant, etc.) to obtain the hand of Hild, the daughter of Hagen.
The reason it is in the past tense, viz., "I have been called Deor" is that this is a wry pun meaning that he had been "dear" to his lord at one time.
From the AS word deor meaning "animal, beast" derives the modern English word, "deer".
