Wikipedia

  1. sagas

    Sagas are prose stories and histories, composed in Iceland and to a lesser extent elsewhere in Scandinavia. The most famous saga-genre is the Íslendingasögur (sagas concerning Icelanders), which feature Viking voyages, migration to Iceland, and feuds between Icelandic families. However, sagas' subject matter is diverse, including pre-Christian Scandinavian legends; saints and bishops both from Scandinavia and elsewhere; Scandinavian kings and contemporary Icelandic politics; and chivalric romances either translated from Continental European languages or composed locally. Sagas originated in the Middle Ages, but continued to be composed in the ensuing centuries. Whereas the dominant language of history-writing in medieval Europe was Latin, sagas were composed in the vernacular: Old Norse and its later descendants, primarily Icelandic. While sagas are written in prose, they share some similarities with epic poetry, and often include stanzas or whole poems in alliterative verse embedded in the text.

Examples of sagas in a Sentence

  1. Mary Clarks:

    You want to turn the page, there are wonderful sagas you can thoroughly enjoy a section and put it down. But if youre reading my book, I want you stuck with reading the next paragraph. The greatest compliment I can receive is, I read your darned book til 4 in the morning, and now Im tired. I say, Then you get your moneys worth.

  2. Michael Dee:

    This date acts as an anchor point for the Icelandic Sagas, it is somewhat in keeping with date estimates based on these Sagas, and therefore adds some credibility to the stories they contain of exploration of the Americas and interaction with Indigenous inhabitants. In other ways, it is later than most Saga experts would have expected.
