This calls to mind Richard Wagner's music drama '[[Die Walküre]]', in which two siblings, Siegmund and Sieglinde, previously unknown to each other, meet and fall in love. Their incestous bonding results in Siegfried (but that's another story). Pteppic and Ptraci avoid this solecism. | |||

I'm not sure if his ought to count as an anotation or not, but I've just come back from trying out my modest German in the deutsche Wiki.

Separated brother and sister
This calls to mind Richard Wagner's music drama 'Die Walküre', in which two siblings, Siegmund and Sieglinde, previously unknown to each other, meet and fall in love. Their incestous bonding results in Siegfried (but that's another story). Pteppic and Ptraci avoid this solecism.
