	Norse Odin
		The major writings of Snorre during the 1200s reflect a revival of the Icelanders' interest in pagan ancestors and how there were to be considered: as authoritative figures.
		Snorre used such written sources as were available; he also relied on skaldic poems, some of which were very old.
		The vital works of Snorre later nourished Norwegian self-based identity and assisted the patriotic unrest that was topped when Norway forced its way out of a cramped union with a Sweden that formerly had taken large parts of former Norwegian territory by successful wars.

	Heimskringla (Snorri Sturluson) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But, as it happens, in the skilful hands of that remote, enigmatic figure that was Snorre Sturlason, this compendium becomes a thrilling subject likely to satisfy the mind of the professional historian and thirst for adventure of the young, budding intellectual turk.
		Snorre's tale starts at the mythical times of the creation of the world, eons ago, with a crisp narrative of the well-known old Norse cosmology.
		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.

	Vikingships from the norse saga litterature
		("Orm" means dragon or large snake.) The gunwhale "was as high as on ocean ships" according to Snorre Sturlason, thus the hight from keel to gunwhale was perhaps as large as 4 m.
		Snorre Sturlason tells about this ship in detail in his saga about Harald Hårdråde.
		Snorre Sturlason notes that the ship had a high gunwhale but rather low stem and stern.

		In The Hunt for Odin, Heyerdahl says his digs by the Sea of Azov in Russia backed evidence in 13th-century sagas by Snorre Sturlason that Odin was more than a myth.
		Snorre’s stories about Odin, viewed as the king of the gods in Norse mythology, portrayed him as fighting battles.
		By contrast, Snorre treated Thor, the god of thunder, as a mythical hammer-wielding figure riding through the air.

		Heyerdahl states: "I’m personally convinced that Snorre recorded oral history rather than a concocted myth, and I think it’s time to look for the land that my Scandinavian ancestors came from and not merely where they subsequently went on their Viking raids and explorations.
		When Odin learned that they were coming towards the land of Asers, he decided that it was best for him to take his priests, chiefs and some of his people and move to the Northern part of Europe.’ The Romans are human beings, they are from this planet, they are not mythical figures.
		If this inscription matched Snorre’s record, it would mean that Odin left for Scandinavia during the second half of the 1st century AD.

		Snorre refers to it in connection with the meeting between Olav Haraldsson and Erling Skjalgsson at Avaldsnes in the year 1024.

		Magnus Erlingson's Saga While scholars and historians continue to debate the historical accuracy of Sturlason's work, the "Heimskringla" is still considered an important original source for information on the Viking Age, a period which Sturlason covers almost in its entirety.
		She was wise and intelligent, and remembered her father Snorre, who was nearly thirty-five years of age when Christianity was introduced into Iceland, and died a year after King Olaf the Saint's fall.
		The probability is that both Snorre and the author of "Fagrskinna" must have transcribed the same original text.

	Norwegian Life by Ethlyn T. Clough eBook by BookRags
		“The Younger Edda,” also called “Snorre’s Edda,” because it is supposed to have been written by Snorre Sturlason (born 1178, died 1241), contains a synopsis of the old Norse religion and a treatise on the art of poetry.
		The most prominent work in this field is Snorre Sturlason’s Heimskringla, which gives the sagas of the kings of Norway from the beginning down to 1777.
		The literary development above referred to ceased almost entirely toward the end of the fourteenth century, and later, during the union with Denmark, the Danish language gradually took the place of the old Norse as a book-language, and the literature became essentially Danish.

		As part of the substantiation for the factual nature of Snorre’s descriptions, I include a map by the Arab geographer al-Idrisi, drawn around 1100 CE, where a place called Truija is clearly indicated, not far from a lake, east of Tanais.
		The stories written down by Snorre are great tales of heroes and glory, of an aggressive and very masculine culture where kings, earls and local warlords fight for land and glory.
		The sagas, collected by Snorre and others, were heroic verbal myths and legends, told around the campfires and probably enacted during the rites of the Scandinavian people for over a thousand years.

		Some of his poems were about happenings in Iceland; but these were mostly adventure stories of heroes who were busy exploring, courting beautiful women, or fighting their neighbours.
		Snorre did not spend much time in these poems describing normal everyday life, no more than you would expect to see anyone doing much boring real work (in a factory, or an office) in a modern American TV series either.
		These history books are written in normal everyday language, not in poetry, and they do contain quite a lot of information about the farmers and noblemen of Norway, and how they earned their living (as well as how they conducted their own quarrels against their neighbours, and the king).

		Following this criterium, the Oseberg ship which indeed was a Snekkar judging from the serpent head which was found within the rests and allowed to be reconstructed, must have been a Skeid, thanks to its slender lines.

		OSLO (Reuters) - The Viking god Odin may have been a real king who lived in what is now southern Russia 2,000 years ago, Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl said in a controversial new book on Thursday.
		In "The Hunt for Odin," Heyerdahl says his archaeological digs by the Sea of Azov in Russia backed evidence in 13th century sagas written by Snorre Sturlason that Odin was more than a myth.
		Heyerdahl, who won worldwide acclaim with his 1947 voyage across the Pacific on the Kon-Tiki balsa raft, said Odin was a king who lived around Azov before being driven out by the Romans and taking his followers to Sweden.
