Siegfried the Dragon SlayerDragon slayer in Germanic mythology
Siegfried (also Sigurd in Nordic sagas) is a legendary figure from various Germanic sagas, especially the Nibelung saga. Essential elements of the Siegfried figure are her superhuman strength, great courage and great bravery, the killing of a dragon, which in some versions is associated with the acquisition of a great treasure (mainly in the Nordic, but e.g. not in the Nibelungenlied, in the Hort acquisition and dragon fighting are different adventures) and their murder (in the Nibelungenlied by Hagen von Tronje, in some Nordic traditions by Gottorm). The hero's biography is also shaped very differently by the individual poems, both according to his origin and the further course of his life. The reasons for his murder and the location of the murder and the magical props he used are also given differently (for example, he only uses a camouflage cloak, the so-called 'magic cap', in the Nibelungenlied).
