Note 72 — Lohengrin
Smith Ely Jelliffe translation
The Grimm Brothers, in their German Sagas (part II, p. 206, etc.), quote six further versions of the saga of the Knight with the Swan. Certain fairy tales of the Grimm Brothers, such as “The Six Swans” (No. 49), “The Twelve Brothers” (No. 9), and the “Seven Ravens” (No. 25), with their parallels and variations, mentioned in the 3d volume of the “Kinder-und Hausmärchen,” also belong to the same mythological cycle. Further material from this cycle may be found in Leo’s “Beowulf,” and in Görre’s “Introduction to Lohengrin” (Heidelberg, 1813).
