Sága

Sága is a Norse goddess whose name, from Old Norse, possibly means "seeress" or "seeing one," derived from sjá, "to see." The Saga article may be read for modern usage.

Mythology

In Norse mythology, Sága is associated with the location Sökkvabekkr (Old Norse: "sunken bank" or "treasure bank"), where she and the god Odin merrily drink as cool waves flow, according to both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, compiled in the 13th century from traditional sources.

Scholarship

Scholars have proposed that Sága's abode Sökkvabekkr may be connected to Frigg's fen residence Fensalir, and that Sága may be another name for Frigg. The etymology of Sága, from sjá ("to see"), may imply a role as a seeress or watcher. However, due to limited sources, these theories remain speculative.
