| In the summer of 999, Leif Erikson
voyaged to Norway and spent the following winter with King Olaf Tryggvason.
Substantially the same account is given by both the Saga of Eric the Red and the
Flat Island Book. The latter says nothing about Leif’s return voyage to
Greenland, but according to the former it was during this return voyage that
Leif discovered America. The Flat Island Book, however, tells of another and
earlier landfall by Biarni, the son of a prominent man named Heriulf, and makes
that the inspiration for the voyage to the new land by Leif. In brief, like
Leif, Biarni and his companion sight three countries in succession before
reaching Greenland, and to come upon each new land takes 1 "doegr" more than the
last until Biarni comes to land directly in front of his father’s house in the
lastmentioned country. This narrative has been rejected by A. both visited Norway B. both returned to Greenland C. both visited Wineland D. both visited Helluland 更多"In the summer of 999, Leif Erikson "的相关试题:我来回答: 提交
