Þórðr Sjáreksson
Icelandic poet · Iceland · On the map · Writers
Þórðr Sjáreksson was an 11th-century Icelandic skald. He composed a drápa on Þórólfr Skólmsson, four strophes of which have been preserved in the kings' sagas. He also composed a memorial drápa on the canonised Olaf II of Norway, called Róðadrápa, one strophe of which is preserved.
Þórðr Sjáreksson is read about 2 times a day, in 7 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.

A few disjoint strophes by Þórðr on different subjects are also preserved in Skáldskaparmál. Skáldatal reckons Þórðr among the court poets of both Óláfr Haraldsson and Eiríkr Hákonarson.
