The Mythic Texts of Norse Tradition
Between the timeless myths of the Eddas and the grounded realism of the family sagas lies a body of literature steeped in legend. These mythic texts tell of dragon-slayers, cursed weapons, and heroic kings whose deeds straddle the line between the divine and the mortal. From the tragic fate of Sigurd in the Völsunga saga to the adventures of Hrólfr Kraki and Ragnar Lothbrok, they preserve the memory of an age when myth and history were inseparable.
