Question: What is Saga!? Like twilight saga!?

I've read the twilight series, but what is a Saga!? I don't get what Saga is!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

sa·ga /?sɑg?/ –noun
1!. a medieval Icelandic or Norse prose narrative of achievements and events in the history of a personage, family, etc!.
2!. any narrative or legend of heroic exploits!.
3!. also called saga novel!. a form of the novel in which the members or generations of a family or social group are chronicled in a long and leisurely narrative!.

I don't really get what #1 has to do with 'Twilight' considering it's not from Iceland or Norway, but maybe #2 or #3 would be the most accurate definitions for the 'Twilight' saga!. I just make it easy and call it the 'Twilight' series (: Hope I helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

saga is scandinavian folklore or just like the poster above me said, a heroic tale/legend

Examples of saga are beowulf and grendel or las nibelunglied!.

I would call twilight series as it's not a legend, and sagas are always set in the past!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
