Krákumál or the Lay of Kraka is a skaldic poem, consisting of a monologue in which Ragnar Lodbrok is dying in Ælla's snake pit and looks back at a life full of heroic deeds. It was composed in the 12th century, almost certainly in the Scottish islands.[1] It is composed in a kind of háttlausa in 29 stanzas, most of them with ten lines. In moving and forceful language, the poem deals with the joys of the life of a warrior, the hope that his death will be followed by a gory revenge, and the knowledge that he will soon know the pleasures of Valhalla. The poem has been translated into several languages and it has contributed to the modern image of a Viking warrior. SampleThe following is the text of the first stanza[2] with a literal translation:[3] {{Verse translation|{{lang|non|Hjoggum vér með hjörvi.Hitt vas æ fyr löngu, es á Gautlandi gengum at grafvitnis morði; þá fengum vér Þóru, þaðan hétu mik fyrðar, es lyngölun lagðak, Loðbrók at því vígi; stakk á storðar lykkju stáli bjartra mála.}} | We swung our sword; that was ever so long ago when we walked in Gautland to the murder of the dig-wulf.[4] Then we received Þóra; since then (at that battle when I killed the heather-fish) people called me shaggy-breeches. I stabbed the spear into the loop of the earth.}} Popular cultureIn History Channel's drama series Vikings, the poem forms the basis for the final words of Ragnar Lothbrok, played by Travis Fimmel.
