Oddr, vartu eigi         at eggroði,
þá er seggi allvalds         svelta létum.
Bar ek sár þaðan         sex ok átta,
en þú með bygðum         batt þér matar.
 
‘Oddr, you were not at the blade-reddening [BATTLE], when we caused the mighty ruler’s men to die. I carried from there six and eight [fourteen] wounds, but you were begging for food for yourself among the settlements.
Oddr, vartu eigi         út með Girkjum,
þá er á Serkjum         sverð vár ruðum.
Gerðum harðan         hljóm ísarna;
fellu fyrðar         í fólkroði.
 
‘Oddr, you were not abroad among the Greeks, when we reddened our swords on the Saracens. We made the harsh music of iron weapons [BATTLE]; men fell in the army-reddening [BATTLE].

Information about a text: poem, sequence of stanzas, or prose work

This page is used for different resources. For groups of stanzas such as poems, you will see the verse text and, where published, the translation of each stanza. These are also links to information about the individual stanzas.

For prose works you will see a list of the stanzas and fragments in that prose work, where relevant, providing links to the individual stanzas.

Where you have access to introduction(s) to the poem or prose work in the database, these will appear in the ‘introduction’ section.

The final section, ‘sources’ is a list of the manuscripts that contain the prose work, as well as manuscripts and prose works linked to stanzas and sections of a text.
