      A 6thC oral legend of the Goths having once been enslaved in Britain, as reported by Jordanes: http://people.ucalgary.ca/~vandersp/Courses/texts/jordgeti.html …pic.twitter.com/ku39AXREKl

      "Nor do we find anywhere in their written records legends which tell of their subjection to slavery in Britain or in some other island, or of their redemption by a certain man at the cost of a single horse. Of course if anyone in our city says that the Goths had an origin different from that I have related, let him object. For myself, I prefer to believe what I have read, rather than put trust in old wives' tales."

          The allusion to "Britain or some other island" is interesting. Perhaps reference to mythical origins on island in the North?

          And a different origin myths altogether?

          Absolutely. Enslavement on an island, redemption by a certain man for the cost of a horse. Orally trans. origin myth to me.

          Jordanes had some really great insights into early Slavic history, I wonder if he was just as rigorous as w/Gothic history 😏
