SIEGFRIED THE DRAGON SLAYER

Siegfried (also Sigurd in Nordic sagas) is a legendary figure from various Germanic sagas, especially the Nibelungen 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 Nordic, but not, for example, in the Nibelungenlied, in which Hoarding 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 designed very differently from individual poems, both in terms of his origins 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 stated differently (for example, he only uses an invisibility cloak, the so-called 'invisibility cap', in the Nibelungenlied).
