	Heimskringla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heimskringla is the Old Norse name of a collection of sagas recorded in Iceland around 1225 by the poet and historian Snorri Sturluson (1179-1242).
		The Heimskringla traces Odin and his followers from the East, from Asaland and Asgard, its chief city, to their settlement in Scandinavia.
		The first part of the Heimskringla is rooted in Norse mythology; as it advances, fable and fact all curiously intermingle, and it terminates in factual history.

	Heimskringla (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Heimskringla is the Icelandic name of the Norse Viking sagas and mythology, originally written in Old Norse around 1225 by the poet and historian Snorri Sturluson (c.1179-1241).
		Some of the Sagas of the "Heimskringla" are grand romances, full of brilliant adventures, while at the same time they lie so completely within the range of history that they may be regarded as authentic.
		The first part of the "Heimskringla" is necessarily derived from tradition; as it advances fable and fact all curiously intermingle, and it terminates in authentic history.

		Century Norse food, as described in the Heimskringla, is principally meat and fish, grain and honey, and beer and mead.
		Vegetables and nuts are not mentioned frequently in the Heimskringla, and mushrooms and fruit are not mentioned at all, except for two references to a “fruitful” season or harvest.
		The Heimskringla is heroic saga which deals with food and feasting only insofar as food and feasting coincide with stories of gods, kings, beautiful maidens and warriors dying in battle.

	Norse mythology
		It may be thought of primarily as a handbook for aspiring poets, which lists and describes traditional tales which formed the basis of standardised poetic expressions, such as "kennings".
		The Heimskringla, which is owned today by as many families in Norway as the Bible, provides some interesting insights into this issue.
		Later in the Heimskringla, Sturlusson records in detail how Viking converts to Christianity such as "Saint" Olaf Haroldsson used ruthless campaigns of repression to forcefully convert Scandinavians to Christianity, using such means as burning down homes, gouging out eyeballs, and resorting to mass drownings.

		Snorri, an Icelandic thirteenth-century writer, was in his time the most prestigious writer in Scandinavia and Heimskringla one of his most important work.
		The Kringla manuscript from which this fragment survived was destroyed in the great fire that swept Copenhagen in the autumn of 1728 amongst a number of other Icelandic manuscripts.
		The leaf was found in the Royal Library in Stockholm, as an Icelander who made a copy of Heimskringla in the late 17th century to sell to Sweden, has taken one leaf from the original manuscript as proof for the copy's authenticity.

		Heimskringla is the account of the kings of Norway, starting with the Norse god Odin as a great general and wizard and centered around the story of St. Olav, king of Norway for 15 years.
		At any rate, Snorre's prose flows easily and leads the reader deep into the old Norse world and customs, everyday life, nonchalantly describing grim, sometimes gruesome deeds, bringing us back to a period in which the conception of the world, ethics, morality and existence itself, were vastly different from ours in the West.
		A milestone in the world literature and history, the Heimskringla will leave no one unmoved, and will surely expand the vision of many.

		Snorri, an often unscrupulous (and very successful) politician who lived in the real world, was also a very learned man. He was arguably the greatest historian of medieval Europe, and in his methods he has often been compared to Thucydides.
		"Heimskringla" means "the world is round" -- appropriate for a people who considered the entire world their arena -- and is the overall title given to his collection of earlier sagas, rationalized and pruned of recognizable nonsense, which is still the basis of history in the North.
		Snorri's style is simplicity itself and because "history" until very recently concerned itself with the actions of great men, he spends considerable time detailing the interrelationships among the many leaders of Scandinavia -- and especially of Harald "Fairhair," who conquered and united the many domains of those leaders.
