 | | The Norse sagas or Viking sagas (Icelandic: sögur), are stories about ancient Scandinavian and Germanic history, about early Viking voyages, about migration to Iceland, and of feuds between Icelandic families. |
 | | The civilization of Norse sagas is complex, many-layered, with often-contradictory agents sometimes acting as forces for good, sometime evil, and always grippingly human. |
 | | Critical concepts to the Norse saga technique are honour, luck (or destiny), and fate, the supernatural, and character. |
