The Nordic saga as the identity

The comment is that isn’t clue of Christianism in Nordic saga, that are alone tales, absolutely fantastic, that haven’t nothing that we can think as Christian; but while is reading the saga we can find some connection with Christianism: the tale of Arngrímr and his sons, Arngrímr is a king that has had twelve sons; it can is a casual case but the people of Nord Europe have had accepted and mixed Christian religion with their mythology, hence it is possible that the twelve son were the correspondent of apostles and the final of this tale conform this hypothesis, because: “For this they become everywhere famous and nobody king weren’t that didn’t depended from their desire”; it seems that Gospel and the submission of every king to Christ this is God. Other clue that is hidden is in other tale when in the tale The oath of Hjörvarðr the tale tells: “Happened now that in a night of solstice of winter, during a ceremony the men given the oaths , as it was used…”, normal narration and not other, certainly, but if we think well these last words, we find a notation that is relatable to specific culture of these peoples, because this costume is specific of Nordic people. The oath is to a wedding, the is tale said: “They given the oath the sons of Arngrímr and Hjörvarðr swore that he is going to have the daughter of Ingjaldr, king of Swedish, since the girl was famous because he was beauty and quality and other woman he didn’t want”; it is alone a use of these populations, yes, certainly, in fact it is important, in south Europe the weddings were determined from political interest alone, the matrimonial politic was an important chapter of aristocratic families, and for this marriage were necessary accord between families, but certainly the choice was determined alone form money and power, but a scion of aristocratic family certainly could not swore that he is going to have a girl because beauty or famous; hence it is a typical use of that people, therefore it is a connotation of that population, whereby the anonymous author is telling a costume of his people. The violence was present also in woman in that land because other contender that shown his desire of marry the girl, and she given the choice to his father this is has been more valid in duel, usually the woman avoid the fight but in Nordic culture the use was frequent. Other episode that modified the ancient Greek and also occasionally Christin use, the interpretation of dream, because Angantýr, one of twelve brothers, tells a dream to a Jarl, a noble that we can compare to a count or governor, in Viking time, but the difference is evident if we consider that the interpretation is asked to a laic figure, a manager. The contemporary era, hence more near to us the brothers Jacob(1785-1863) and WilhelmGrimm(1786-1859), they seem didn’t renounce to Gospel, because a fable, The poor and the rich has took directly from the parable of Lazarus and Epulione, because the rich is condemned to worse fate instead the poor enjoys of better sort; in fact the God is hosted from the poor couple and God asked three desires that God fulfills, and same he made also to rich couple but the husband asked three wrong desires that are fulfills; it is manifestation of Christian German Christian, but the Gospel as the twelve sons that we have read above is constant.
