The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue (Part I)

Here I started a reading of one of the less well-known Icelandic sagas. The Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue and the actual inspiration and precursor to Tolkien's character from the Lord of The Rings, Grima Wormtongue. This is going to be a reading divided in a few parts, so stay VIGILANT for the next parts!
Heill Óðinn!

Raging from Scandinavia, England and Ireland, a Viking-age epic of two poets in doomed pursuit of Helga the Fair.

Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu er ormur, or the Saga of Gunnlaugr Serpent-Tongue is one of the Icelanders' sagas. Composed at the end of the 13th century, it is preserved complete in a slightly younger manuscript. It contains 25 verses of skaldic poetry attributed to the main characters.

It is an important work in both Norwegian and Icelandic literary history. Gunnlaugr is sometimes Anglicized as Gunnlaug. The cognomen can also be translated as Worm-Tongue or Snake-Tongue.

The saga has similarities to earlier sagas of poets, such as Kormáks saga and Bjarnar saga, but it is more refined and elegant with strong characterization and emotional impact. Long considered a masterpiece, the saga is often read by beginning students of Old Norse literature. Printed with a Latin translation and commentary in 1775, it was the first of the Icelanders' sagas to be published in a scholarly edition
