Philosophical hermeneutics cannot accept the role either of offering alternative answers to the question of the possibility of philosophy or of seeking and finding the answer in what philosophy used to be. Furthermore, it cannot impose itself as the other or different answer to philosophy. Rather, it should first and foremost accept the claim of its question, and it is only in this that, following Schleiermacher, hermeneutics is a capacity of understanding the language of the other.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the references to the Battle of the Frigidus River and its protagonists in two medieval Icelandic texts: the universal chronicle Veraldar saga and the saint's life Ambrosius saga byskups as well as to examine the potential echoes of this event in the Icelandic romance Kirialax saga. Veraldar saga's reference to the event is encapsulated in one single sentence informing the reader that the emperor Theodosius cut down the viking whose name was Eugenius and who had conquered the kingdom of the Romans.
