Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Magic and Witchcraft., part 4, sentence 120

The original idea seems to have been best preserved in the two legends of the wooing of Brynhild by Sigurd, in the first of which he awakens her from her magic sleep, while in the second he gains her hand (for Gunnar) by a daring and difficult ride--for "him only would she have who should ride through the flaming fire that was drawn about her hall."

Who acts: original idea, Sigurd, significance · What happens: seem, preserve, awaken, gain, have, ride · To what, where: two legends, Sigurd, magic sleep, hand, flaming fire, Brynhild
