Scandinavian strand ( other Scand. Þáttr , plural other scand. Þættir ) - a concept that summarizes short literary works recorded in Iceland in the XIII - XIV centuries in Old Icelandic and telling about the history and life of the Scandinavian peoples in the period mainly from 930 to 1030, the so-called "Century sag".
The name Þáttr is literally translated as “strand,” and the word can be translated as “piece, passage”.

Difference from Saga
Often a "strand" is inaccurately translated as a " saga ." The main difference: “lock” is a short prosaic story.
