This version of the story is in the Volsungsaga (or Saga of the Volsungs) and you should read it.
It's got everything: women bitterly exacting revenge for unwanted marriages, a warrior who knows the future and that he's powerless to prevent it, and a god who rears up one bloodline only to cut it off when it's outlived its use.
Also several women burn their husbands' houses down. Of course.
Gudrun Setting Fire to Atli's Palace by Edward Burne-Jones (1833 - 1898)

TMAGP 7 SPOILERS
FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH
Celia:
- wants to search by "meat"/etc.
- recognizes Chester's voice
Colin:
- says there's "real stuff" outside the emails/etc.
- violently refuses to allow external electronics onsite
- discusses a weird email from "John"/"Jon" with Sam
Gwen:
- shows the Klaus video to Lena
- believes someone paid Lena to attempt his murder
- confirms with Lena that there's "real work"
- becomes the "externals liaison"
Statement:
- HILL TOP, HILL TOP, HILL TOP
Theory:
This feels like almost complete confirmation for all of the following:
1. Hill Top Road allowed MAG's powers in (does not confirm if they remained in their old forms i.e. Smirke's 14),
2. Celia is "that" Celia,
3. "Chester" has the voice of Jonathan Sims, not just the man but the character, and the same for "Norris" having the voice of Martin,
4. "Augustus" also has the voice of a significant character,
5. The "Response" part of OIAR will become more important.
I know these are basic conclusions, but I'm just laying it out to process. I think with the computer voices' sources confirmed, that removes a lot of uncertainty regarding how much TMAGP will engage with MAG's immediate consequences and characters.
I hope it leads to "grumpy computer archivist archly assists with casework" but you never know.
In my head Lady Mowbray is Pru from the Great British Baking Show. Because of the posh, and the cooking, and the belief that she would eat human flesh if it were well presented enough.

I like to imagine TMAGP'S Gerry is just as goth, but covered in paint (and hair dye)
