…Erik the Red and the Greenland Saga. Those are great. For an early look at democracy vs mob rule the The Story of Burnt Njal is great. For great poetry[1], adventurism and, well, funny-shaped heads, Egil's Saga is also great. If I remember, a lot of the Sagas will reference other ones, and the style definitely gives you the sense that they were spoken for centuries before they were written down. It's also worth…

Snorri Sturulson definitely used the word viking if, as most scholars hold, he was the author of Egil’s Saga. That text is replete with the term, and it isn’t used in a derogatory sense at all. It is an activity performed by the characters considered heroic. It’s even right there in the first paragraph: “Úlfr…
《埃吉尔萨迦》（Egil's Saga）
Egil's Saga
……《红发埃里克萨迦》和《格陵兰人萨迦》。那些都非常精彩。想了解早期民主制度与暴民统治的对比，《尼亚尔萨迦》棒极了。如果想看精彩的诗歌[1]、冒险精神，还有，呃，形状滑稽的脑袋，《埃吉尔萨迦》也很棒。如果我没记错的话，很多萨迦之间会互相引用，那种叙事风格绝对能让你感觉到在被落诸文字之前它们已经口口相传了好几个世纪。它也很值得……

如果像大多数学者认为的那样斯诺里·斯图鲁松是《埃吉尔萨迦》的作者，那他绝对用过 viking（维京人）这个词。那部典籍里到处都是这个词，而且根本不是贬义用法。它是那些被视作英雄的角色从事的一项活动。第一段里就明明白白写着：“Úlfr……”
