Njal's Saga, 78-92

In chapter 78 we can see a great contradiction in Njal's saga, the wierd position of law in a place so lawless. The men bring in complex lawsuits and go to the Thing, but still kill and fight and deceive, and we can see this cleary when the Sigfussons ask to goto trial and Njal advises themto kill instead.

When I looked up halberd in the index it is mentioned that Gunnar's had magicalpowers, another common theme in mythology, and in greek mythology, which we saw.

Annother strange Gunnar/Oddyseus parallel in their mother's devotion towards' them, as we see in Rannveig after her sons's death, as she is the one who says the halberd should be used to aaenge Gunnar. Also, Odysseus visits the Underworld and speaks with the dead, and in the Saga Gunnar recites verses after he dies, which motivates Hogni to avenge him.
