A study of the proverb “er konungsgarður rúmur inngangs en þröngur brottfarar” and its counterparts in Ireland and elsewhere.

Annotation
A study of the proverb “er konungsgarður rúmur inngangs en þröngur brottfarar” and its counterparts in Ireland and elsewhere. The argument is made that Celtic and Scandinavian forms of the proverb have a common source in Continental tradition and that neither the Celtic nor Scandinavian proverb is a direct borrowing from the other. Taylor suggests an ultimate origin in Aesop’s fable of the lion and the fox, with a possible link to the Cumaean Sybil’s warning to Aeneas in the Aeneid.
Lýsing
Höfundur fjallar um máltækið “er konungsgarður rúmur inngangs en þröngur brottfarar” og hliðstæður þess á Írlandi og víðar. Sett er fram sú kenning að máltækið eins og það er þekkt á Norðurlöndum og í hinum keltneska menningarheimi eigi sameiginlega rót á meginland Evrópu, fremur en að það hafi borist frá Írlandi til norrænna manna eða öfugt. Taylor telur að uppruni máltækisins sé dæmisaga Esóps um ljónið og refinn, auk þess sem þarna kunni að vera einhver tengsl við viðvörun völvunnar til Eneasar í Eneasarkviðu Virgils.
