The authors of the Icelanders' sagas are unknown. One, '' Egils Saga '', is believed by many modern scholars to have been written by Snorri Sturluson , a descendant of its hero, but this is not certain. The Icelanders' sagas are a literary phenomenon from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. They are focused on history, especially genealogical and family history. They reflect the struggle and conflict that arose within the societies of the second and third generations of Icelandic settlers. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
