 Mythological material in this cycle of some twenty Edda poems includes the "Völsunga saga" and the tale of the Otter's Ransom, and covers much of the same subject matter as the Middle High German epic poem "Nibelungenlied".Material from the cycle was translated into English by such figures as Andrew Lang and Edward Thomas, and had a significant impact on the thought and writings of the Inklings.Theodore Andersson, "The Legend of Brynhild" (1980)
