- Title
Pagãos fictícios, feiticeiros imaginários, alteridades literárias: As sagas islandesas como fonte historiográfica e sua representação do mundo pré-cristão.

- Abstract
My aim here is to inquire how we can understand the sagas, texts written in Icelandic prose of the Middle Ages. The highest production of sagas was between the second half of the thirteenth century and the first half of the fourteenth century. I am interested in general in the representation that these sagas produced in the high-medieval period of the "vikings" (or before), where the action frequently takes place in their accounts, and, concisely, in the figure of pagans and magicians of the Pre-Christian period there presented.
