Fáfnismál - A Reading
Fáfnismál (The Lay of Fáfnir) | The Poetic Edda
Translated by Henry A. Bellows | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice
Fáfnismál recounts a conversation between Sigurd and the dragon Fafnir, who was once a human transformed by greed and cursed to guard a hoard of treasure.
In the poem, Fafnir recounts his tragic tale of greed, betrayal, and transformation. He explains how his insatiable desire for the cursed gold turned him into a dragon. Despite the grim circumstances, Fafnir imparts valuable advice to Sigurd about the dangers of wealth, emphasizing the destructive power of greed.
The conversation between Sigurd and Fafnir not only serves as a crucial moment in the Völsunga Saga but also explores themes of the consequences of avarice and the transformative nature of greed. Fafnir's fate becomes a cautionary tale, warning against the corrosive effects of unchecked ambition and materialism.
The poem also adds depth to Sigurd's character, showcasing his bravery and wisdom as he engages with Fafnir. The dragon's revelations contribute to Sigurd's understanding of the complexities of fate and the moral lessons embedded in his heroic journey.
Fáfnismál is a narrative gem within the broader Völsunga Saga, offering a poignant exploration of the perils of greed, the transformative impact of unchecked desires, and the moral lessons entwined in the tragic tale of Fafnir the dragon.
