The end of Roland is highly noble, with Roland and Oliver dying side by side and Roland protecting the corpse of his friend. You can definitely see parallels of Achilles and Patroclus. Ill give you aspects of Nibelungenlied

The Edda

The Aeneid
The Shah Nahma
The Peloponnesian War
The Histories of Herodotus
The Saga of the Volsungs
Latro in the Mist

Njal's Saga
