The Saga of Grettir the Strong #3 | Grettir and the Bear and the Brothers of Biorn

This is chapter 3 of Grettir's saga, written by Allen French. Grettir's saga is one of the most famous sagas told in Iceland, which supposedly took place between the ninth and the eleventh centuries in Iceland and Norway. In chapter 3, Grettir sailed to Helgoland and stayed in the house of Chief Thorkel for the winter. After the winter passed, a big bear roused from his winter sleep and makes the life of the people a worrisome one. Grettir sets on to fight the beast, but will he make it? Moreover, Biorn, one of Thorkel's Kinsmen, got in an argument with Grettir and even the Earl of Norway threatens his life now. Will Grettir survive once again? Tune in to listen to the full story.
