Note 92 — The Greenland Ballad of Atli

Henry Adams Bellows translation

From the land: this maritime expedition of Guthrun and her two brothers, Gunnar and Hogni (the poet seems to know nothing of her half-brother, Gotthorm), with Sigurth seems to have been a pure invention of the poet’s, inserted for the benefit of his Greenland hearers. Nothing further is reported concerning it.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
