Þórgunna
Wi'aama fahin: Thorgunna
Þórgunna is the unusual saga corpse that rises to help rather than to kill. During an overnight halt on the way to her burial, her body gets up, lays the table and cooks a meal for the bearers, then vanishes when the farmer speaks to her. The scene is eerie rather than violent, but it opens the chain of deaths at Fróðá. It shows the saga dead as people with unfinished business and the physical means to settle it.12
