Nordic saga
Ancient Scandinavian tale
A Nordic saga is an extended prose narrative from medieval Scandinavia, typically recounting the deeds of legendary heroes, Viking expeditions, or family histories across generations.
The sagas blend history with myth, featuring feuds, voyages, and fate.
More loosely, any long, dramatic account of events: Her divorce became a Nordic saga of betrayal and revenge.
