Völsunga saga
The "Völsunga saga" tells a longer prose version of Gunther's life and deeds. It follows the plot given in the "Poetic Edda" fairly closely, although there is no indication that the author knew the other text. The author appears to have been working in Norway and to have known the "Thidrekssaga" (c. 1250), a translation of continental Germanic traditions into Old Norse (see Þiðrekssaga above). Therefore the "Völsunga Saga" is dated to sometime in the second half of the thirteenth century.
