[Clarke Rountree]

That explains why Burke uses him and Achilles as similar cases in ATH.

In my interpretation the 'de-horned Siegfried, is the vulnurable Siegfried.
After he took a bath in the blood of the dragon, he became invulnurable (with
the exception of a spot on his back, where a leaf prevented skin contact
with the blood).  Hope this is helpful for you.

Take a look at this stamp (1933, Deutsches Reich):

Thanks, Miriam. My German literature colleague tells me Siegfried is the
masculine hero of Wagner's *Ring Cycle* opera. The character would probably
wear a helmet with horns, so "de-horned" may mean without this masculine
symbol.
