The poetic Edda

Note 5 — The Lament of Oddrun

Henry Adams Bellows translation

The manuscript does not indicate the speakers. For the woman: conjectural; the manuscript has instead: “What warrior now | hath worked this woe?” The manuscript indicates line 3 as beginning a new stanza. Line 5, apparently modeled on line 4 of stanza 13, is probably spurious.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
