Multiform and life cycle: An American and a Scandinavian narrative

Mellor identifies multiform found in two narratives, "The Volsunga Saga" and "Daredevils of Sassoun," both within each heroic tale and among the two narratives. The author contends that "The Volsunga Saga" was based on an earlier oral epic now lost.
