Before we delve into his<br> amazing exploits as an adult, we must look back to his origins. In traditional<br> saga fashion, we begin with his great grandfather, Onund Treefoot. We follow<br> Onund’s efforts to resist the increasing power of King Harald Fairhair and his struggles<br> to come to terms with the loss of his property and his leg. Forced to redefine his own identity and to<br> make a new life in foreign lands, he emerges as the truest hero in the saga,<br> renowned as “the bravest and most agile of all the one-legged men in<br> Iceland.” From Onund, we wend our way<br> through battles over whale corpses, murder, and legal cases in the genealogy until<br> we arrive at Grettir himself. We’ll look<br> briefly at Grettir’s inglorious youth, his troubled relationship with his<br> father, Asmund, and the events leading up to his first outlawry. Will Grettir learn to control his temper and<br> put his strength to good use? Or will he flout the norms of society and<br> continue to make his own way more difficult? <br> Find out as Saga Thing takes on </span><i style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Grettir’s<br> Saga</i><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> (chapters 1-20).</span> </div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">This handy genealogy will help you keep some of the names straight in your minds</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://sagathing.podbean.com/mf/web/af8d4q/GrettirsFamilyTree.jpg" alt="GrettirsFamilyTree.jpg"></div>
