The Icelandic sagas are primarily prose but they are almost certainly rooted in an earlier poetic tradition of which there are some surviving examples. For example the Old English poem Beowulf is related to a Legendary Saga in Icelandic both of which almost certainly descend from a older Scandinavian poetic source.
