  • Þar Sem Sigmundur Og Artúr Mætast
    Greppaminni: rit til heiðurs Vésteini Ólasyni sjötugum. Hið íslenska bókmenntafélag, Reykjavík AÐALHEIÐUR GUÐMUNDSDÓTTIR ÞAR SEM SIGMUNDUR OG ARTÚR MÆTAST Hetjukvæði Eddu eru varðveitt í Konungsbók, GKS 2365 4to, sem var skrifuð eftir einu eða fleiri nú glötuðum forritum í kringum 1270. Kvæðin snúast mikið til um hetjur einnar fornaldarsögu, Völsunga sögu, sem reyndar er að miklu leyti afurð þessa kveðskapar. Um er að ræða átján kvæði; hin elstu eru að jafnaði talin ort á 9. öld, en þau yngstu virðast vera mjög ung, jafnvel frá 13. öld.1 Þótt erfitt sé reyndar að segja nokkuð með vissu um aldur hetjukvæðanna þykir ljóst að þau muni vera misgömul og þar af leiðandi hafa þau gengið mislengi í munnmælum fram að ritunartíma. Hetjukvæðin spanna efni Völsunga sögu allt frá lokum 8. kafla og til enda, og þótt telja megi líklegt að höfundur sögunnar hafi einnig stuðst við kvæði í fyrsta hluta hennar, eru slík kvæði hvergi varðveitt. þar með verður ekki fullyrt að hvergi hafi varðveist vísbendingar um tilveru slíkra kvæða, enda bera nokkrar — og þá vægast sagt heldur ólíkar — heimildir vott um það. Áður en ég sný mér að aðalviðfangsefni greinarinnar, þ.e.a.s. því sem felst í titli hennar og varðar sameiginlegt efni í sögnum um Sigmund Völsungsson og Artúr konung, vil ég gera þessum heimildum nokkur skil, enda málinu skyldar. Fyrst mun ég þó gera stuttlega grein fyrir því efni sem tilheyrir fyrsta hluta Völsunga sögu og varðar viðfangsefni greinarinnar (3.– 8. kafla). Við hefjum sögu þar sem tvíburarnir Sigmundur og Signý Völsungsbörn eru fullvaxta. Signý er nauðug gefin Siggeiri konungi Gautlands, sem ákveður snemma sögu að svíkja tengdafólk sitt.

    Satire and the Heroic Life: Two Studies (Helgakvida Hundingsbana I, 18 and Bjgrn Hitdrelakappi’s Gramagafltm) Scholars like Otto Rank, Lord Raglan, and Jan de Vries have pointed out a remarkably rigid patterning in the lives of many legendary “ heroes,” 1 and one of the most interesting recent tendencies in the study of heroic legend pursues such patterns to the influence of myth or ritual or, at least, to tradition in an oral culture.2 Another route to what might be called “ heroic conformity” begins with the elusive background in a heroic ethos, and George Fenwick Jones’ The Ethos o f the Song o f Roland can stand as a good representative of this more sociological (and hence less exact) scholarly direction.3 Strangely the two approaches—the one from traditional narrative structures and the other from the real-life ideological matrix supporting such 1.

  • Granholm Genealogy
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY NORSE ROYAL ANCESTRY (Norwegian and Finnish) INTRODUCTION The Norse or Scaninavian mythology has many deities, gods and goddesses. This part begins by listing Norwegian and Finnish ancestors, Njörd and Fjornot. Where the name in the lists are highlighted I have included a biography. There is no clear direct lineage from them, they are intermixed with the Swedish and Danish mythologies. In those separate booklets have I included the information about Odin and others near to him. Here I have shown our lineage from other mythical figures.These lineages do not start from a single person. The lists that follows converge different lineages which all lead to us. So me of the persons are referred to as Kings of Finland. As in all listings of mytological/historical persons there is a gray area where the reader may use his or her imagination in deciding where the transition between myth and history is. But a fact is that somebody was there and had some influence, for instance how a name was established serves as some kind of proof of their existence. See the quotation below: Njörðr's name appears in various place names in Scandinavia, such as Nærdhæwi (now Nalavi), Njærdhavi (now Mjärdevi), Nærdhælunda (now Närlunda), Nierdhatunum (now Närtuna) in Sweden, Njarðvík in eastern Iceland, Njarðarlög and Njarðey (now Nærøy) in Norway. Njörðr's name appears in a word for sponge; Njarðarvöttr. Additionally, in Old Icelandic translations of Classical mythology the Roman god Saturn's name is glossed as "Njörðr". King Thorri of Finland, a descendant of the first king Fornjot, is the 41st great grandfather.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION is scarcely any literary work of great im- portance which has been less readily available for THEREthe general reader, or even for the serious student of literature, than the Poetic Edda.

  • Beowulf and the Permutations of a Germanic Legend: the Incarnations of Ingeld Across Germanic Literature and Culture
    BEOWULF AND THE PERMUTATIONS OF A GERMANIC LEGEND: THE INCARNATIONS OF INGELD ACROSS GERMANIC LITERATURE AND CULTURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Edward Currie December 2018 © 2018 Edward Currie BEOWULF AND THE PERMUTATIONS OF A GERMANIC LEGEND: THE INCARNATIONS OF INGELD ACROSS GERMANIC LITERATURE AND CULTURE Edward Currie, Ph.D. Cornell University 2018 This dissertation examines the varying uses and contexts of the legend of Ingeld, a key figure across a range of Germanic literature and culture whose manipulation by the poet of Beowulf remains one of the most cryptic yet crucial allusions in that poem. His appearance in Old English verse is perhaps most familiar to scholars, but he is also represented significantly in Saxo Grammaticus’s Gesta Danorum (“Deeds of the Danes”), and in Snorri Sturluson’s Ynglingasaga (“Saga of the Ynglings”). No sustained evaluation of this figure’s varying facets or crucial role in displaying the different agendas of each of these works has yet appeared. The thematic innovations of authors on traditional narratives about Ingeld, who is a young ruler influenced by an old counselor, not only reveal authors’ rhetorical purposes, but also betray their ideological positions. Studying the narratives of Ingeld offers us the opportunity to puzzle out the variety and sophistication of medieval authors’ transformations and adaptations of legendary narratives according to various value systems and political intentions. Chapter 1 analyzes how the Beowulf poet took a traditional tale of Ingeld and put it to new use in order to educate his audience; we also investigate the influence of the author’s religious views on the representation of martial heroism.
