Re: [ejlist] Siebzig Verweht I - Iceland - corrected

Sorry, my text was garbled somewhat, here is the correct version
The panic and the terror the Vikings spread wherever they landed and attacked 
was IMHO (Bertil, you direct descendant of Hägar & Co, please correct me if I'm 
wrong!) due to the effectiveness of their methods of combat (including going 
berserk) and pillaging and slaughtering, also due to their unheard-of mobility 
and the scarcity of reliable news about them and their whereabouts. When EJ 
writes that it was rather due to "gespeicherte mythische Substanz" I feel like 
reading Heidegger: it sounds somehow profound and important but it leaves me 
emptyhanded… Günter Rebing
