Norse saga
Norse sagas are medieval stories from Scandinavia that recount the legends, history, and adventures of ancient Nordic people, especially Vikings. Written mainly in Old Norse between the 13th and 14th centuries, they blend myth, legend, and historical events to portray heroes, gods, and notable families. These tales offer insight into Viking culture, beliefs, and social values, often emphasizing themes like bravery, honor, and fate. They remain valuable for understanding Norse heritage and have influenced modern literature, film, and popular culture.
