Thank you! It is all over the place, but trying to simplify the multiple story branches and versions into one video would be a feat. Honestly, to properly explain it would take a very long video. And as much as I would love to do something like that, I don't have time for it. Maybe once I'm out of school.
Really nice video! I already know a lot about Sigurd, but hearing about him again is good. Maybe this sounds a bit annoying (and if it is, I apologize) but do you know where his legend came from? Was he an actual hero? Or is he simply fiction? And if it is fiction, what origins does he have?
So there is speculation that he may be based on a Merovingian king, but there's no consensus. I think that he's probably loosely based on some king or warrior but there's no way to definitively say. Ya know, unless we find a burial somewhere that says " Here lies Siegfried"
@@EveryPersonaExplained If we actually find that I would be happy, I really love the tale of Sigurd and especially the slaying of Fafnir. In many ways it reminds me a lot of Beowulf (I love Beowulf personally. Do you have some sources I could use for my personal research about this (Again hoping I'm not being too annoying asking these many questions)?
@@mart3151 Don't worry, your curiosity isn't annoying. The sources I used are in the description of the video. Unfortunately, they're just the stories. It sounds like what you're looking for is a scholarly analysis. I'd have a look on JSTOR and see if you can find an analysis on it.
@@EveryPersonaExplained Thank you so much man! I'm going to JSTOR to see for myself then. Have a good one, and thanks for answering every doubt I have. :)
Does this mean we're getting a Fafnir video next?
Not next, already have a request lined up for the next one, but I probably should do Fafnir soon as a companion video.
Nice video :D Although it is all over the place I think you did a great job! :D

The man has returned!
As promised :)
