Everything about Saga Of Eric The Red totally explained
Eiríks saga rauða or the
Saga of Erik the Red is a
saga on the
Norse exploration of North-America.
In the saga, the events that led to
Eric the Red's banishment to
Greenland are chronicled, as well as
Leif Ericson's discovery of
Vinland the Good, after his
longship was blown off course. By geographical details, this place is thought to be present-day
Newfoundland, and is likely the first European discovery of the
American mainland, some five centuries before
Christopher Columbus's journey.
The saga is preserved in two manuscripts in somewhat different versions;
Hauksbók (14th century) and
Skálholtsbók (15th century). Modern philologists believe the
Skálholtsbók version to be truer to the original. The original saga is thought to have been written in the 13th century.
