commentary
context
Grettis saga is one of the Íslendingasögur, all composed in the 13th and 14th century. The saga of Grettir is a story of a man, ill-tempered and outlawed, who drifts further and further away from good society. The saga takes place in Iceland and Norway.
commentary
The name Glam is etymologically related to gloom and gloaming, though these words are not derived from the name (Grettir´s Saga' in: Faulkes, A. & Johnston, George (eds.), Three Icelandic outlaw sagas (2001), Everyman: London. p.154)
