Gutasaga
Gutasaga (''Gutasagan'') is a saga treating the history of Gotland before its Christianization. It was recorded in the 13th century and survives in only a single manuscript, the Codex Holm. B 64, dating to ca. 1350, kept at the Swedish Royal Library in Stockholm together with the Gutalag, the legal code of Gotland. It was written in the Old Gutnish dialect of Old Norse.〔(''Gutasagan'' ( Project Runeberg) )〕
==A local creation myth==
The saga begins with Gotland being discovered by a man named Þieluar (''Tjalve''). He was a mythical figure who shows up twice in the Prose ''Edda'' and once in ''Gutasaga''. Gotland is under a spell and under water during the day and out of water only during the night, a spell that is broken by Þieluar lighting a fire on the Island. Þieluar's son Hafþi (''Havde'') and his wife Vitastjerna had three sons named ''Graip'', ''Gute'' and ''Gunfjaun'', the ancestors of the Gutes.
The saga says that after his father died, Gute was appointed to be the chief, and shall have given his name to both the island and the Gutnish people. They shared Gotland, where Gute held the midsection, Graip the northern and Gunnfjaun the southern part. Gotland was divided in three parts, a division that was reflected in a division of Gotland into three Tredingar, a division that remained legally to 1747 and still remains within the church, which still today retains this division into three Deaneries〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Visby Stift ).〕
