  • I don't see how the Nibelunglied could possibly derive from Hungarian sources. Magyar incursions into Western Europe became common, I believe, in the 9th century. The earliest point of historical reference in the Nibelungenlied, however, is the assault on the Burgundians by Huns in the employ of Flavius Aetius (around AD 445), and the latest is the life of Theodoric the Great, who died in 526; the legend of the Dragon-slayer is likely even older.

  • Interesting. I don't agree with the thesis that Germanic mythology is primarily derived from Hungarian roots, yet the diverse peoples who settled Central Europe deeply influenced one another, reaching back to the time of the great migrations, that is what the Nibelungenlied is about. I don't know why anyone interprets the Nibelungenlied in a 19th century German Nationalist or racist sense, because it was written in the 13th century, and portrays Attila and the Huns in a very honorable fashion.
