The heroic ethic: the legend of Sigurd and the code of the warrior.

The author, Magnussen,  "The Norse ideal was a man of open, generous disposition, a man imbued with qualities of compassion and kindness, not ruthless but firm and fair, even tempered but capable of passion, physically accomplished and strong in a fight, but not a bully. Such was the ideal man of honour. But when the die was cast, when circumstances and cruel fate drew him into a situation which he could not avoid without losing honour, when he was agonizingly trapped between duty and emotion, there was no running away. If he had to kill, he killed, and if he had to die, he died well, like Hogni, laughing at death itself.
