Grettis Saga Asmundarsonar–-translated as The Saga of Grettir Son of Asmund, The Saga of Grettir the Strong, or simply Grettir's Saga–-is an Icelanders' saga from c. 1320 AD.Like many sagas, the narrative goes through several generations before introducing its eponymous hero. It starts out with Onund Tree-Foot, a Norwegian viking who tries to combat Harald Finehair's rise to power and loses one of his legs in the struggle. The handicap, however, does not prevent him from further swashbuckling until he ends his days of adventure by settling down on Iceland.Onund's son Thorgrim and grandson Asmund do their best to live up to their ancestor's format until Asmund's son Grettir steals the spotlight. Grettir is rebellious, bad-tempered, lazy, impatient, disrespectful, antisocial, and exceedingly strong. Predictably, he commits his first manslaughter at the age of sixteen. Sentenced to a three-year exile, he looks for adventure in Norway and earns early fame by vanquishing a haugbui (an undead spirit), an entire band of marauding berserkers, and a dangerous bear.But ever true to his uncompromising ways, Grettir is soon entangled in blood-feuding and forced to go back to Iceland. Still uninterested in productive civilian work, he decides to take on Glámr, an exceptionally vicious draugr or revenant that has nearly depopulated the district of Vatnsdal. Grettir prevails, but in his last moments Glámr places a curse on him, declaring that Grettir will always be in fear of the dark and be followed by bad luck.When King Olaf Haraldsson takes over Norway, Grettir again sails abroad, hoping to attain a prestigious position in the king's retinue. But a chain of unfortunate events leads to Grettir being blamed for the death of the two sons of Thorir, an Icelandic chieftain. The accusation of murder shatters his hopes for a career in the king's service, and what's more, back in Iceland, the bereaved Thorir files suit against Grettir. Only on his return to Iceland, Grettir learns that he has been outlawed.Forced into a life of hiding, Grettir's only chance is to fend for himself in the wilderness of Northern and Western Iceland, supported only by the few people that are kind or bold enough; for sheltering an outlaw is itself a punishable offense. Year after year, Grettir, living mostly by theft and robbery, has to combat not only the forces of nature, but also hired assassins, bounty-hunters, and vengeful farmers, only narrowly escaping death several times. Still he is eager to prove his prodigious strength, ridding the people of Bardardal of two murderous trolls, and avenging his brother Atli who has been killed in a blood feud.The years on the run take their toll even on a man like Grettir. Yet all is not hopeless, as Grettir's friends obtain the concession that Grettir's sentence will be considered fulfilled if he completes twenty years in outlawry – if only he can survive.As a public domain work, there are translations online. Here is one from 1914. Or if you like to go 19th century, take Morris/Magnússon 1868 online or as an e-book. | |

Deadly Gaze | |
| The Saga of Grettir the Strong / int_1d91d9bb | comment |
Deadly Gaze: The revenant Glam's power to curse resides in his eyes. Grettir is able to throw Glam to the ground, but as Glam is lying on his back, a cloud is drifting from the moon, making the moonlight fall on Glam's face. Grettir is struck with terror at the sight of Glam's eyes, and is paralyzed; Glam then speaks his curse on Grettir. | |

Mutual Kill: The morning after Glam has not returned from his job of herding sheep in the haunted valley of Forsaeludal on Christmas Eve, the people of Thorhallsstadir find his dead body at the end of the valley, alongside the traces of a great fight and a Trail of Blood left by an unknown creature leading away into the crags. They infer that the creature has killed Glam but that Glam likewise wounded it so severely that it died, as it is never heard of again. | |

| The Saga of Grettir the Strong / int_38b48685 | comment |
Born in the Wrong Century: Grettir tries to fashion his life after the model of the monster-slaying heroes of old, and he has the format for it; but his pride, his desire to test his strength, and his aversion to do productive civilian work make him a social misfit in his own time. | |

Hero of Another Story | |
| The Saga of Grettir the Strong / int_581f6468 | comment |
Hero of Another Story: The life of the outlaw Hallmund is apparently quite a story in its own right. When he lies dying, he recites a poem commemorating his adventures, and "many exploits of his did Hallmund recount in the lay, for he had been in every land." Only a short piece of it is given, but it hints at a most extraordinary tale: The outlaw Grim who kills Hallmund goes on to become a famous adventurer himself: "Grim became a great traveller and there is a long saga about him." | |

Price on Their Head | |
| The Saga of Grettir the Strong / int_74b49e17 | comment |
Price on Their Head: After Grettir is blamed for causing the fire in which the two sons of Thorir of Gard have perished, Thorir uses his influence to bring about Grettir being outlawed, and puts a price of three marks of silver on his head, to which Thorodd (whose brother Grettir killed in an unrelated feud) adds another three marks. This is considered exceptional because "no higher price than three marks had ever been put on a man's head before." Later again, after Grettir has already resisted several attempts to kill him, Thorir raises the offered bounty by another three marks. When, years later, Thorbjorn Hook finally succeeds in killing Grettir, he cuts off his head and brings it to Thorir preserved in salt to collect the reward; however, Thorir has heard that Thorbjorn could only defeat Grettir by use of abominable sorcery, and refuses to pay out the reward. | |

Trail of Blood: The morning after Glam has not returned from his job of herding sheep in the haunted valley of Forsaeludal on Christmas Eve, the people of Thorhallsstadir look for him and find his dead, blackened body at the upper end of the valley. Nearby are the traces of a great fight and a track of superhumanly large footprints leading up into rocky crags, with "splashes of blood [running] alongside". They infer that before his death, Glam must have severely wounded the unknown creature that killed him, and believe that the creature must have died from it. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| The Saga of Grettir the Strong / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: Grettir's adventure with the Bardardal trolls is remarkably similar to the first part of Beowulf: A troll comes every Yule Eve to the farm of Sandhaugar and kills anyone staying in the farmer's bedroom. Grettir goes to Sandhaugar voluntarily, wrestles with the troll-woman and finally cuts off her arm, while she flees into a waterfall. Later, Grettir dives into the waterfall and finds a hidden cave where he kills another giant, presumably the troll-woman's mate. In Beowulf, the "farm" is the royal hall of Denmark, and Beowulf kills a male troll first and then his mother in a underwater cave. Spes's trick with the oath mentioned above comes from certain versions of the Tristan and Iseult legend. | |
