5 Epic Viking Stories - ROBERT SEPEHR

The Viking Age, the period of great Scandinavian expansion from the late 8th to the late 11th century – is normally associated with violent raids and warfare. But in fact, Viking people were highly civilized, and greatly valued the arts – especially storytelling, about ancient myths, heroic legends, folk tales, and family and local histories. These stories circulated orally, often in the form of epic poems, usually passed on through successive generations, but many were written down in the 13th century, mainly by scholars in Iceland, which today form the basis of much of what we know about ancient Norse myths and legends, Sagas, which are supposedly based on true stories of real Viking Age people. https://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2020/02/5-epic-viking-stories-robert-sepehr.html
