Atlakviða en Grönlenzku - A Reading
Atlakviða en Grönlenzku (The Greenland Lay of Atli) | The Poetic Edda
Translated by Henry A. Bellows | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice
Confirming their suspicions is a ring sent by their sister Guðrún, Atli's wife, with a wolf's hair wrapped onto it. Atli obviously plans treachery, but Gunnarr still decides to take up the offer, vowing that if he doesn't return no-one will benefit from his riches.
As Gunnarr and Högni arrive at Atli's court, they meet Guðrún who tells them that they should not have come. Gunnarr is seized by Atli's men while Högni fights and kills eight men before he is subdued. The Huns ask Gunnarr if he wants to ransom his life by telling them where he has hidden his gold. He tells them that he wants to see Högni's heart. They first cut out the heart of a cowardly man named Hjalli and bring it to Gunnarr, but he sees from the cowardly trembling of the heart who its owner was. Then they cut out Högni's heart and he dies laughing. Gunnarr recognizes the heart of his brave brother, but tells the Huns that now that he alone knows the location of the gold, he can be certain that it will never be disclosed. The Huns then throw him into a snake pit where he dies playing a harp.
Guðrún prepares a banquet for Atli and his court. When the feast is well underway, she tells Atli that he is actually eating the flesh of their two sons. Guðrún later kills the inattentive Atli in his bed, sets loose the hounds and awakens the housecarls she has bribed. Guðrún throws a burning twig into the hall and eventually Atli's entire estate is set ablaze. All the people in the hall, Atli's temple, the "dwelling of the Buthlungs" as well as shield-maidens are consumed by the fire.
