SMITH (Scand. Volundr, Ger. See also:Wieland) , See also:hero of See also:romance. The See also:legend of Wayland probably had its See also:home in the See also:north, where he and his See also:brother Egi112 were the types of the skilled workman, but there are abundant See also:local traditions of the wonderful smith in See also:Westphalia and in See also:southern See also:England. His See also:story is told in one of the See also:oldest songs of the See also:Edda, the Volundarkiba, and, with considerable See also:variations, in the See also:prose pi8rekssaga (Thidrek's See also:sage) , while the Anglo-Saxon See also:Beowulf and Deor's Lament contain allusions to it. The See also:tale of Wayland falls naturally into two parts, the former of which contains obviously mythical features. He was the son of the See also:giant sailor Wate and of a mermaiden. His grandfather was that Vilkinus, See also:- KING

lent his name to the Vilkina- or pi8rekssaga. Three See also:brothers Vdlundr, Egill and Slagfipr seized the See also:swan-maidens Hlapgupr, Olr{1n and Hervor, who, divested of their See also:feather dresses, stayed with them seven or eight years as their wives. The second See also:part of the story concerns Volundr, See also:lord of the elves, the cunning smith, who, after learning his See also:art from See also:Mime, then from the dwarfs, came to the See also:court of King NiPopr, and there defeated in fight the smith Amilias. Volundr's See also:sword, Mimung, with which he won this victory, was one of the famous weapons in See also:German epic See also:poetry. In the See also:Dietrich See also:cycle it descended to

order to secure Volundr's services, lamed him by cutting the sinews of his knees, and then established him in a smithy on a neighbouring See also:island. The smith avenged himself by the slaughter of Nipopr's two sons and the See also:rape of his daughter Bodvildr. He then soared away on wings he had prepared. The story in its See also:main outlines bears a striking resemblance to the myth of See also:Daedalus. For the vengeance of VSlundr there is a very See also:close counterpart in the See also:medieval versions of the vengeance, of the Moorish slave on his See also:master. The denouement of this tale, which made its first See also:appearance in See also:European literature in the De obedientia (See also:Opera, See also:Venice, 3 vols., 1518–1519) of Jovianus See also:Pontanus (d. 1503), is different, for the Moorish slave casts himself down from a high See also:tower. The See also:Aaron of the Shakespearian See also:play of See also:Titus Andronicus was eventually derived from this source.
Swords fashioned by Wayland are See also:regular properties of medieval romance. King Rhydderich gave one to See also:Merlin, and Rimenhild made a similar See also:gift to See also:Child See also:Horn. See also:English local tradition placed Wayland Smith's forge in a See also:cave close to the See also:- WHITE

W. Franks, who had bought it in See also:Paris for a dealer. One fragment is in See also:Florence. The left-See also:hand compartment of the front of the casket shows Volundr holding with a pair of See also:tongs the See also:skull of one of Nfpopr's See also:children, which he is fashioning into a See also:goblet. The boy's See also:body lies at his feet. Bodvildr and her attendant also appear, and Egill, who in one version made Volundr's wings, is depicted in the See also:act of catching birds.
