Episode 2: Hrafnkel's Saga
Our grand quest to place the sagas of the Icelanders on
trial begins with an acknowledged classic–the relatively brief (but totally
epic) Hrafnkels saga Freysgoði. The story of a harsh chieftain who
falls from power and rises again, the men who band together against him, and
the horse at the center of it all,Hrafnkels saga offers a
listener-friendly introduction to the complex and blood-drenched world of the
Icelandic sagas. And it comes with torture!
Hrafnkel’s
Saga and Other Icelandic Stories (Penguin Classics)
But is that enough to earn it a top score from John and Andy, or will the saga be judged harshly for its lack of scope and poor treatment of animals? Find out now!
