Sigurd the Dragon Slayer is one of the most important heroes in Norse mythology. In this part of the series, the focus is on the story of the Rhinegold and the events following Sigurd’s slaying of the dragon Fáfnir.

The video covers key questions from the saga, including Sigurd’s relationships, his marriage, and the role of Brynhild, as well as how greed, betrayal, and fate shape the later parts of the legend. The story is based on Skáldskaparmál, part of Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda, one of the main written sources for Norse mythology.

This video is Part 2 of a series exploring the Sigurd cycle and should be watched together with the other parts for full context.
