Heroic tales are stories of brave and daring characters, often with supernatural elements. These tales can take the form of SAGAS, EPICS, and EDDAS. SAGAS are long, narrative poems that tell the story of a family or group of people over several generations. EPICS are long narrative poems that tell the story of a heroic figure, usually involving gods and goddesses. EDDAS are collections of Norse mythology, including stories of gods, goddesses, and heroes. All three forms of heroic tales have been passed down through generations, providing insight into the culture and beliefs of the time.
