Saga
The sagas (from
Icelandic saga, plural sögur), are stories about ancient Scandinavian and
Germanic history, about early
Viking voyages, about migration to
Iceland, and of
feuds between Icelandic families. They were written in the
Old Norse language, mainly in
Iceland.The texts are
epic tales in
prose, often with stanzas or whole poems in
alliterative verse embedded in the text, of heroic deeds of days long gone, tales of worthy men, who were often
Vikings, sometimes
Pagan, sometimes
Christian. The tales are usually realistic, except legendary sagas, sagas of saints, sagas of bishops and translated or recomposed romances. They are sometimes romanticised and fantastic, but always dealing with human beings one can understand.
