Saga
A saga is a long, detailed narrative or series of events, often involving adventure, conflict, and heroic deeds, typically drawn from historical or legendary sources. In modern usage, it describes any extended story in real life, like a family's multi-generational drama or a corporation's turbulent history, adding a touch of epic flair to everyday tales.

The Icelandic sagas, written between the 12th and 14th centuries, are among the first examples of realistic prose literature in Europe, blending historical facts with fiction in a way that influenced modern novels; for instance, over 40 of these sagas survive today, and one, the Saga of the Greenlanders, may have inspired Christopher Columbus with tales of the New World centuries earlier.
