Eireks saga víðförla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eireks saga víðförla is a legendary saga on a Norwegian who travels to Miklagard and then to India and beyond in search of Údáinsakr (the Deathless Acre), and returns. It merges the Údáinsakr of Norse mythology with the notion of heaven in Christianity.
