The poetic Edda

Note 67 — The Greenland Ballad of Atli

Henry Adams Bellows translation

The manuscript does not indicate the speaker. Requital, etc.: it is not clear just to what Guthrun refers; perhaps she is thinking of Sigurth’s death, or possibly the poet had in mind his reference to the slaying of her mother in stanza 53.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
