King Laurin's a new literary tradition for me...

"But you're completely defenseless, sir!" retorted Claudrin
worriedly. "How will you defend yourself against these agents?"
"Agents...?" Rhodan chuckled. "You mean the invisibles? Let's
just call them the Laurins. Do you remember the legendary king of
the dwarfs who could make himself invisible? So - they're Laurins.

I was going to say the _Nibelungenlied_ isn't really part of the
cultural background in the English-speaking world... but on checking
I see that Laurin doesn't appear there and Siegfried got his magic
cloak of invisibility ("Tarnkappe") from a different dwarf.

Laurin is also referenced in an episode of the 1960s German TV
series _Raumpatrouille_ (Space Patrol) as the name of some gadget
that projects a mirage.

So, yeah, part of the German-language cultural background.

Yes, the American space program is doubtless filled with astronauts who
know that German folk tale.

If _Beowulf_ provides psychological perspicacity into the violent under-
tones of the Anglo-Saxon psyche, then perhaps King Laurin's rose garden
rules do likewise with the White House. LOL.

Some Operation Paperclip people probably knew about King Laurins, as a
matter of fact (versus fiction). LOL.

Laurin is part of the "Dietrich von Bern" saga, aka Theoderic
the Great.
