The harbal and Sino story poems, familiar to all parts of Scandinavia, are set in the clan wars of the fifth century. Habar was the son of a chieftain who, on his way to a pirate adventure, met two sons of King Siar. They have one
A younger sister named Sino. After falling in love with Sino, Habar had to seek revenge on her brother, who had killed two of Habal's brothers.
Disguised as a maiden, Habar sneaks into King Sear's hall at dusk and enters Xeno's bedroom. That night, Habar and Mount Sino made an oath, even though Habal had killed two of her brothers. But now Habar must die, too, because one of Sino's servants had reported his intrusion into the palace to the king. Destined to go to the gallows, he demanded that his robe be hoisted first. When this request was granted, he saw a raging flame rising from Sino's boudoir, and he understood that Sino was loyal and willingly greeted his doom.
At this time, Sino also set himself on fire and died. According to this legend, Habar's only living brother later avenged the blood of King Siar, and the two clans killed each other. The theme is very clear. Interestingly, there was a struggle between the Indians who ruled Central Zealand and the rival clan that had overthrown the ruling family. The fact that the second theme, the love of Habar and Sino, gradually became the center of attention, is particularly worth pondering. The unswerving mountain alliance and sea oath embodied in the poem has greater ethical significance than clan conflict.
Certain episodes in the story, such as Habar's entry into a woman's bedroom, are not uncommon in Eastern stories, and they may even reflect the author's knowledge of Mediterranean coastal folklore, which was acquired sometime between the historical events of the fifth century and Sacso's recording of the story poem before the Crusades.
From the point of view of the subject matter, the sixth century narrated by Sacso is probably the most important century of Danish heroic poetry. It was at the beginning of this century that the Scorens ruled an area equivalent to today's Denmark. The masterpiece of poetry at that time was the Bialke Story Poem, which was about the demise of a clan.
The infighting of this clan upended the royal family, putting the Skren clan at risk of complete destruction. The Poetry of the Biark Story is mentioned many times in Scandinavian history, and it is even used to inspire Scandinavian soldiers to fight. The ancient English poems "The Wanderer" and "Beowulf" can remind people of the historical source of Biark's story poems. King Raul (Hrozga), the father of Halfdan, lived in the royal palace of Lyle in central Zealand, and Raul's superior warrior was his nephew Rolf, and his own son Rörik (Hrozlik) and another nephew, Yalwar, were not valued.
According to The Wanderer and Beowulf, Rohr and Rolf initially got along well, but when Rolf deposed his useless cousin and usurped the throne to stand on his own, a lose-lose war took place. Rolf's other cousin, Yalwar, led a group of Goths back in the night to take revenge. Two high-ranking warriors, Yart and Biark, awakened Rolf's soldiers to rise up and encouraged each other to enter the battle, but the king's soldiers were outnumbered. Rolf was killed, his warriors fell one by one, and finally Biark and Jart were killed, one fell to Rolf's head and the other at his feet. At this time, the flames rising from the burning palace illuminated the night sky. A great era is over.
The Biark story poem is a faithful ode to the warrior class and the main ideals of this class. There is an infinite sense of mourning generated by fanatical belief in the story poem, that is, the belief in the ultimate victory of a person's name after death, and the merits that make the hero immortal. From Axel. This poetic sentiment can be seen in several lines of translations of the story poem that Olrick rewrote:
I wait for the sword strike,
Will support my faith and so on.
The glory of great deeds,
Will never forget.
Finally, there are poems about the Skrons as well as poems about the Ingar story. At the heart of the poem is undoubtedly the war between the Scoren and Hadbars. The latter were a militant piracy people who lived on the northern coast of Germany and fought with the Danes for control of the Baltic Sea. A truce was later reached because the son of the King of Hadbar was to marry a daughter of the Scolens. But before the wedding celebration was over, the dispute recurred. This time, the Danes finally destroyed the strength of the Hadbars. Over time, historical features have been distorted. In Saxo's writings, the status of legendary figures changed. The prince of the Hadbar tribe became the king of the Scorun tribe, named Ingar. His father, Fraser, was killed by the Saxon king Sfortin. However, the King of the Skrons married a daughter of his father's killer.
In particular, he was in charge of the government with several Saxon princes, who lived in the royal palace of the Scorons. The story is set in the royal palace of Ingal, where the young king and queen, Sfoatin's sons, and his bodyguards all dine at the same table. An old samurai of Fraser entered the hall, no one knew him, and he was placed among the beggars by the door, being ridiculed by the arrogant nobles. The old man suddenly stood up and scolded the juniors for their rude behavior. At this moment, all the people in the hall were holding their breath.
In front of Ingal, he ridiculed him for not avenging his father, but for marrying the daughter of the man who killed his father, and joining the man's son in the government. Engal, excited by the old man's harsh words, suddenly stabbed Sforttin's sons with his sword. This is when the plot reaches its climax. Fraser's samurai rejoiced in his hatred and pleaed to throw the bodies of the seven princes into the wasteland to feed the crows and jackals, avenging Fraser. The poem is a long monologue by Frozer's samurai Stalkaz. With his skillful technique, the bard creates a constantly intensifying tension that envelops the whole world in the urgent moment of revenge. The spirit of the poem is unquestionable, it is full of an atmosphere of blood revenge and contempt for cowards who do not avenge their fathers.
