Publisher's Synopsis

The Tale of Hogni and Hedinn, also known as Hjaðningavíg or the Saga of the Everlasting Battle, is an ancient Norse saga that recounts the tragic and legendary feud between two warriors, Hogni and Hedinn. This tale, as recounted by Eiríkr Magnússon in his translations of Icelandic sagas, is a classic example of the heroic and often brutal world of Norse mythology and literature.

The story revolves around a cursed, never-ending battle between the warriors and their armies, triggered by a betrayal involving Hogni's daughter. The saga is steeped in themes of honor, vengeance, and fate, reflecting the values and beliefs of the Norse people. The perpetual conflict is ultimately resolved only by the intervention of supernatural forces, illustrating the powerful influence of destiny in Norse lore.
