 Edith Hamilton Pages

In Norse mythology, Sigmund is a hero whose story is told in the Volsunga Saga. Sigmund and his sister (Signy) are the children of Volsung. Sigmund is also the father of Sinfiotli (Fitla in Beowulf) and Sigurd (famous dragon-slayer).  Signy marries Siggeir and at the wedding feast Odin (Nordic God) arrives, disguised as a beggar. He plunges a sword into the Barnstokk (a living tree) where Volsung’s hall is built. The disguised Odin announces that the man who can remove the sword will have it as a gift.  Only Sigmund is able to free the sword from the tree, much to the jealous of Signy’s new husband (Siggeir). Siggeir decides to capture Sigmund and his 8 brothers and murders his father (Volsung) in his jealousy.

 In your groups, read section 13 of Beowulf. o Siegmund and Sinfiotla (or “Fitla”) were great heroes—like Beowulf could be. o Hermod was an prideful and greedy king who lead to the destruction of his people.

 Finn was a prideful, greedy king. He attacked a peaceful Danish tribe with no warning, killing their king (Hnaf) and many of his people. He took Hnaf’s sister as his wife, whom lost both her brother and her son to Finn’s attack. Finn lost many of his own, so he cleverly offered words of peace and a shared crown. Hnaf’s people were too weak to keep fighting so they agreed to Finn’s peace offering. Finn took them back to his kingdom across the sea. Though the Danes longed for their home. Hengest, Hnaf’s follower and next in line for the throne, killed Finn and his followers. Hnaf’s people took back their treasures and Finn’s wife to go back home to Denmark.  This myth is alluded to in sections of Beowulf when the scop narrates the tale. King Hrothgar seems to be sending a message to Beowulf. What is it?

 Read and complete the annotations for sections of Beowulf. o Section 13: Myth of Signy and Siegmund (narrative digression) o Section 16-17: War of the Frisians (narrative digression) o Section 18-20: A New Monster Arrives in Town  There will be an annotation check on Thursday.
