A sweeping retelling of a variety of Greek and Scandinavian myths and legends, including the Icelandic saga, initially published between 1868 and 1870. They used a frame story concerning some medieval wanderers in search of immortality. Largely successful, this anthology affirmed Morris as a foremost poet of his day.
