Name(s): The word saga is Old Norse/Old Icelandic for “tale, story.” In addition, Saga’s name is often associated with the verb sjá or “see” which some believe establishes her as having powers of seership.

Parents: Unknown.

Spouse: Unknown.

Children: Unknown.

Affiliations: Saga is one of the Aegir.

Tales: The only mention of Saga in the lore has to do with her role as owner of Sokkvabekk and relationship with Odin.

Hall: Saga’s hall is Søkkvabekk (“sunken seat”), a watery place where she and Odin tell stories all day and drink from a golden cup, listening to the sound of the nearby waters.

Other details: Saga is counted by Snorri in Gylfaginning among the Asynjur.

Some scholars consider Saga another name for Frigga due to the similarities between Sokkvabekk and Frigg’s hall Fensalir, and to the possible relation of her name to seership (see above).
