This version of the story is in the Volsungsaga (or Saga of the Volsungs) and you should read it.
It's got everything: women bitterly exacting revenge for unwanted marriages, a warrior who knows the future and that he's powerless to prevent it, and a god who rears up one bloodline only to cut it off when it's outlived its use.
Also several women burn their husbands' houses down. Of course.
Gudrun Setting Fire to Atli's Palace by Edward Burne-Jones (1833 - 1898)
TMAGP has me thinking about the sublime. The idea of beauty and terror sharing a space in your brain, and the exultation of artistry - a painter like Daria or the virtuoso with the demon violin - to the point of destruction. The joy and horror at seeing a loved one return from the dead. The excitement and fascination of becoming something not quite human, the distress and panic as your body is changed. The shiver of fear as a pleasurable sample of terror.
I wonder where they're going with this.
