Norse Sagas
The Norse Sagas are a collection of medieval narratives from Scandinavia, primarily written in Old Norse. They recount the history, adventures, and legends of the Vikings, their gods, and heroes. These sagas often blend historical events with mythological elements, providing insight into the culture and values of the Norse people.
Composed between the 12th and 14th centuries, the sagas cover various themes, including family feuds, exploration, and the struggles for power. Notable examples include the Saga of the Volsungs and the Saga of Erik the Red. They remain significant for their literary merit and historical context.
