Abstract

This work aims to promote the discussions as well as present my first reflections on the relationship of hierarchy and inequality in the Scandinavian societies of the Viking Age. To do so, we will take as reference the verses that constitute the poem in called Rigsí¾ula (The tale of Rig), that integrates the collection of text of Edda Major. This poem presents the way in which myths explain the emergence of the social strata among the Norse, being thus a central source in the discussion here suggested.
