This article investigates an aspect of the creative contribution of Ovid to the formation of Old Norse literature. The analysis explores the author’s influence on Old Icelandic literature, to see whether and how his work was absorbed in non-continental Europe during the Middle Ages. Two main examples will be taken into account: the first is derived from a medieval saga, the Jóns saga helga; the second from two heroic lays of the Poetic Edda, the Atlaqviða and the Atlamál.

Abstract
This article investigates an aspect of the creative contribution of Ovid to the formation of Old Norse literature. The analysis explores the author’s influence on Old Icelandic literature, to see whether and how his work was absorbed in non-continental Europe during the Middle Ages. Two main examples will be taken into account: the first is derived from a medieval saga, the Jóns saga helga; the second from two heroic lays of the Poetic Edda, the Atlaqviða and the Atlamál.
