In the south, on the Rhine, Sigurd is murdered. Many German tribes Franks, Saxons, Burgundians, Goths, even a Svava-land, or Suabian land, are mentioned in the "Edda." The "Drama of Revenge," after Sigurd's death, though motives of the act somewhat different from those stated in the "Nibelungen Lied" are assigned, is also localized on the Lower Rhine, in the Hall of Atli, the King of the Hunes.
Edda, a word of uncertain etymology, is thought to signify Ancestress. Snorro Sturleson, an Iceland gentleman, an extremely notable personage, educated by this Saemund's grandson, took in hand next, near a century afterwards, to put together, among several other books he wrote, a kind of Prose Synopsis of the whole Mythology; elucidated by new fragments of traditionary verse.
In the "Prose Edda," Hor replies to Gangler who is asking him about the board and lodgings of the heroes who had gone to Odin in Valhalla, and whether they had anything but water to drink in huge disdain, inquiring of Gangler whether he supposed that the Allfather would invite kings and jarls and other great men, and give them nothing to drink but water.
It was not till the next day that Edda could be persuaded to go on deck; the sea was smooth, and the air soft and balmy, and she could not help looking out on the blue ocean which she had learned to love so much. Alfonse Gerardin only occasionally approached her.

In both stories there is a "Chenoo," and in both there is atonement with mankind and the higher powers.

The Story of the Great Chenoo, as told by the Passamaquoddies.
The mistletoe was the sacred plant of Druidism. Its consecrated character was derived from a legend of the Scandinavian mythology, and which is thus related in the Edda, or sacred books.
Another such land faintly referred to in the Edda is Breidablick, governed by Baldur, the Light-god. II., s. 47 The Parsees believe that it is the salutation which meets the soul of the good on entering the next world. Through it we become acquainted with universal relations, this being reason. Without the eye there would be no reason.” Lorenz Oken, Elements of Physio-Philosophy, p. 475.
