The Saga of Grettir the Strong 3: A Lonely Exile




Human Circus: Journeys in the Medieval World show

Summary: This is the third episode of a narrative series on the Icelandic saga of a famed outlaw. Grettir wanders Iceland, never able to stay in one place for too long. He is cursed to fear the dark and wish for company because of it, even as that company wishes him dead. If you like what you hear and want to chip in to support the podcast, my Patreon is here.
