This story was also a bit similar to Achilles', only because when Siegfried killed the dragon and bathe the blood of it a leaf fell down at his back wherein like Achilles can be located his weak point. Nibelungenlied is Germany's greatest epic just like to Italy it was the Divine Comedy.
The hero of Nibelungenlied is Siegfried while its heroine is Kriemhild and the wife of Siegfried. Here i learned that revenge will cause you nothing instead just love your own kind. Like what Gunther did to Siegfried that he even hired someone to kill Siegfried although he knew that Siegfried is Kriemhilds husband wherein Kriemhild is Gunthers sister.
In the end they killed Siegfried and didnt get anything they just made Kriemhild angry at them that it made Kriemhild take a revenge on what they did to her huband
