The Saga of the Volsungs: The Volsunga Saga (Illustrated)

by Eirikr Magnusson (Translator), William Morris (Translator), Charles River Editors (Editor)

Overview

The Volsuna Saga is a legendary saga written as an epic poem in the traditions of writers like Vergil and Homer, but this one is a 13th century writing from an unknown author (or authors) in Iceland, telling the story of the rise and fall of the Völsung clan (including the story of Sigurd and Brynhild and destruction of the Burgundians).

The origins of the material are considerably older than the 13th century, depicting events that happened in Europe during the Migration period just after the Roman Empire fell in 476 A.D.
