Note 763 — Chapter VII · THE DUAL MOTHER RÔLE (continued 2)
Beatrice M. Hinkle translation
The Germanic myth of Dietrich von Bern, who had fiery breath, belongs to this idea: He was wounded in the forehead by an arrow, a piece of which remained there fixed; from this, he was called the immortal. In a similar manner, half of Hrûngnir’s wedge-shaped stone fastened itself in Thor’s head. See Grimm: “Mythology,” I, p. 309.
