		At the end of the 19th century two essays were published in Berlin - by Wolfgang Goldher and Wladislaus Nehring,(52) duscussing the similarity of the Fairy-tale of Sanartia with the Niebelungenlied.
		In particular, two motifs were traced in Sanartia's adventures that follow the episodes of Siegfried's feats more or less exactly.
		Most important in the work of European Kartvelologists is the scholarly value of their research.

		LOTR and the Niebelungenlied are total contradictions of Judeo-Christianity.

	epic. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The epic, which makes great demands on a poet’s knowledge and skill, has been deemed the most ambitious of poetic forms.
		Other works classified as epics are the Indian Mahabharata and Ramayana, the French Song of Roland, the Spanish Song of the Cid, the Germanic Niebelungenlied, Dante’s Divine Comedy, Tasso’s Gerusaleme Liberta, Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, Spenser’s Faerie Queene, and Camões’s Lusiads.
		A mock epic is a form of satire in which trivial characters and events are treated with all the exalted epic conventions and are made to look ridiculous by the incongruity.

	A Hero's History - The New York Review of Books
		Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla, the history of the Norse Kings up to the end of the twelfth century, is a unique sort of historical work.
		It supplies the vital accompaniment to our Saga picture of the heroic age of the Norsemen that the epic worlds of the Iliad, the Irish Cycles, the Niebelungenlied, and so on, have to do without.
		Those are unequalled and infinitely lively stuff, but they don't give what we'd also very much like--some touchstone sense of the atmosphere they grew out of, the minute to minute life that the poets looked at, and that men turned back to when the sound of the verse ceased.

		As a result, the depiction of Siegfried begins to come off as satirical (probably not intended, but it makes things more interesting).
		There is a major strain of Niebelungenlied scholarship which sees Siegfried not as the hero, but as the aggressor.
		The second major set piece involves the battle with Alberich, the Nibelung, an episode that occurs a bit later in the poem, from whom he wins the cloak of invisibility, a horde of treasure, and Balmung, his famous sword.

		Wolfram's Parzival is a more coherent and well-structured narrative than the Niebelungenlied, and is more courtly and refined than the Icelandic sagas of the same era.
		At the time of writing this review, youth counselors in Britain are using Parzival as an allegory to teach the true meaning of manhood.
		Although Parzival does not have the continuity errors of the Niebelungenlied, individual sentences are sometimes mangled beyond comprehension.

	Favorite Medieval Literature?
		I think it was written during the early 13th century in Germany or Austria.
		Beowulf is great, and so is the Niebelungenlied, but I don't think that Beowulf or Siegfried will ever be as well-recognized as Arthur.
		Also, I believe that the Volsungasaga or whatever is older than the Niebelungenlied and should have been put there instead.

		Therefore both characters are of ancient German decent and were not recorded until after they split in the 1200's much like the homeric poems such as the Iliad and Odyssey were passed down until an unknown finally recorded them.
		It is for this reason that there is a large bias in both versions of Siegfried/Sigurds legend the Niebelungenlied and the Volsungasaga such as the Niebelungenlied's tendancy toward medieval society even though the myth is ancient.
		Interestingly enough also there is speculation on the relations between Arminius and Siegfried/Sigurd in that he may be the real life inspiration to the legend or at the very least a strong contributor to the myth by rising to the occasion as a hero based on the stong ties and evidence between them.
