The "Song of the Nibelungs" (Nibelungenlied) seems to have been the major medieval germanic epic, composed - it is thought - by a bavarian clergyman in the first half of the thirteenth century. The elements and characters of the poem are partly fantastic, partly legendary and partly historical. There are narrated the deeds of the hero Siegfried, who takes possession of the treasure of the Nibelungs, a fantastic lineage of dwarves. This saga acquired European notoriety in the nineteenth century, when Richard Wagner made it the subject of his tetralogy "The Ring of the Nibelung"
