Eliot Arlo Little of the University of Iceland and the University of Oslo presents "Sacrifice and Syncronicity: The Development of the Corporeal Revenant in the Medieval North" at the Pre-Christian Religions of the North Conference, hosted in Oslo on the 10th of November 2023.

In this lecture, Eliot looks at Norse conceptions of "Draugar" as well as a host of other beings that in some ways have returned from the dead. In particular how these ideas are presented in the Icelandic sagas of the thirteenth century and beyond, a time when the authors were Christian, though many of the stories were set in a time when pre-Christian or pagan beliefs were followed. So are these ideas of draugar genuine "pagan" ideas or are they Christian, or somewhere in between?
