We all know the great sagas — Njáls, Egils, Laxdæla — but who wrote them? In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the mysterious figure of Eiríkur the Priest, a 13th-century scribe and likely author of several key sagas. Eiríkur lived at Helgafell, a farm tied to the ancient cult of a sacred mountain, and his work includes the powerful Eyrbyggja saga, which blends pagan lore with Christian piety. We discuss how Eiríkur's dual identity as a Christian priest and a recorder of heathen traditions shaped his writing, and why his sagas offer a unique window into Iceland's conversion period. Along the way, we touch on the remnants of pagan worship at Helgafell, the role of the goðar in saga transmission, and the fragile manuscript survival that saved Eiríkur's voice for posterity. If you've ever wondered about the real people behind Iceland's literary golden age, this episode uncovers one of its most fascinating craftsmen. #EiríkurthePriest #Eyrbyggjasaga #Helgafell #Icelandicsagas #MedievalManuscripts #VikingLiterature #SagaAge #Paganism #ChristianConversion #Goðar #SkaldicPoetry #SnorriSturluson #Þingvellir #Althing #Kvöldvaka #13thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
