The Story of the Volsungs (Volsunga Saga); with Excerpts from the Poetic Edda Wagner's Ring Produced by Douglas B. Killings, and David Widger "The Story of the Volsungs (Volsunga Saga)" by Anonymous is an epic tale composed in Old Norse during the 13th century. This ancient work is a saga that recounts the legendary history of the Volsung family, weaving together elements of myth, heroic adventure, and the tragic inevitability of fate. The story begins with the origins of its central characters, including the powerful warrior Sigmund and his descendants, setting the stage for their battles, romances, and betrayals. At the start of this saga, the narrative introduces Sigi, the son of Odin, who faces treachery and violence as he provokes the wrath of his enemies. Following Sigi's rise and downfall, the tale then delves into the lineage of Volsung, his son, who becomes a renowned warrior as well as a figure of noble heritage. The opening chapters detail themes of familial loyalty, the quest for vengeance, and the intertwining fates of the Volsungs against a backdrop of magic and destiny, with suspenseful hints at the sorrows and bloodshed that await them as they navigate their heroic paths.
