Creation” of Kinship as a Narrative Strategy in Cyclization of German Heroic Epic Traditions
The legend about the flight of Theoderic the Great (†526) is preserved in several variants from the beginning of the 9th to the 13th century. It is considered to be of Ostrogothic origin and emerged in the 6th or 7th century, i.e. soon after Theoderic’s death. It has its historical roots in the struggle for power in Northern Italy between Theoderic who invaded Italy with the leader of German army Odoacer who seized Rome and became the king of Ita…

On the one hand, it was taken for granted that in the 9th century there existed trade connections between Scandinavians who settled in Eastern Europe and Byzantium in spite…

The Name Tudorъ in Pre-Mongol Rus’
