Zeus and his brothers having gained a complete victory over their enemies, settled by lot that Zeus should reign in Heaven, Aïdes in the Lower World, and Poseidon should have command over the Sea. […] Zeus asked the worthy pair to name any wish they particularly desired, and it should be granted. […] Counsel should generally be given privately, therefore Consus was worshiped in obscure and private places. […] It was decided that Prometheus, as the advocate of man, should slay an ox and divide it into two parts, and that the gods should select one portion which in all future sacrifices should be set apart for them. […] They then plighted their troth, and Sigurd rode on to the house of Giuki, the Niflung*, who determined that he should marry his daughter Gudrun, and that Brynhild should become the wife of his son Gunnar.
