Love and jealousy, heroes and tragedies, blood feuds and acts of vengeance, curses and sorcery. All of this can be found in Laxdæla, one of the most beloved Icelandic sagas for centuries. The saga also features divorces and prophecies, which are often largely ignored.

Author Vilborg Davíðsdóttir will give a lecture exploring these elements of Laxdæla, examining how the saga reflects historical views on gender roles and the strong sense of fate in Icelandic culture—an influence that has not entirely disappeared.

Participation is free, and coffee and pastries will be served.
