Dalla prefazione di Lorenzo Spurio: […] Il dramma di Marcuccio tratta con originalità e chiarezza di linguaggio molti topos dell’epica germanica: i riferimenti ai combattimenti, al cozzar di spade, all’importanza della fama e della gloria; l’impiego di prove per testare la valorosità dell’eroe; la credenza e l’invocazione del fato, spesso personificato, il tema del tesoro e il motivo del viaggio in terra straniera. Essendomi occupato di fatalismo germanico, devo riconoscere che nell’opera di Marcuccio il destino non è un semplice concetto, un’idea, ma viene caricato di un significato proprio facendo di esso quasi un personaggio. Fato, destino, sorte, fortuna sono concetti che derivano dall’antico inglese wyrd , spesso personificato dalle Norne, che si riferisce a una cultura precristiana, pagana. A tutto ciò Marcuccio aggiunge elementi che rimandano alla conversione dell’Islanda al cristianesimo: la presenza di un monastero e di monaci, l’influenza celtica, la presenza di croci che viene, quindi, a rappresentare una fase successiva di sviluppo politico-socialeeconomico della vita dell’Islanda di epoca norrena. Tuttavia ciò che Marcuccio narra non è solo un racconto epico, è molto di più. È evidente, infatti, la potenza del lirismo, soprattutto in alcuni momenti, come nella scena d’amore tra Sigurdh e Halldóra e, allo stesso tempo, di una certa vicinanza alla cultura popolare con riscontrabili cadenze e dialettismi che rendono particolarmente significativo e vivo il testo, sottolineando quanto sia importante la componente orale nella trasmissione della cultura.
