I det mindste havde Procopios endda mødt nogle af de heruler, som kom tilbage fra Skandinavien i det år.
Men han skrev aldrig sådan- ogingen anden historiker skrev heller, at de vendte tilbage, men Procopios citeres refereres forkert på det punkt.
But Jordanes never wrote that- andno other historian wrote that they returned, as Procopius is often falsely quoted.Desuden fortalte Procopios, at herulerne forblev i Thule(Den Skandinaviske Halvø), og da østherulerne var ryttere, udelukker det øerne.
Besides Procopius told they remained in Thule, and the Eastern Heruls were horsemen- leaving out the islands.Stedet skulle generere værdier, som kunne udnyttes af herulerne, der ifølge Procopios havde levet af krig som lejesoldater, plyndring og beskyttelsespenge.
It shall be a place generating values which could be picked up by the Heruls, who according to Procopius had lived of warfare as mercenaries, looting and payment for protection.Forfædreguder og Aser Procopios fortalte om de illyriske herulere, at disse dyriske barbarer tidligere tilbad en hær af guder og ofrede mennesker til guderne.
Heruls and ancestor gods? Procopius told about the Illyrian Heruls that these reckless barbarians worshipped a host of gods.Vi ved ikke om den begivenhed, ved hvilken ejeren af spændet i Finnestorp blev dræbt, fandt sted før ellerefter den herulske kongefamilies ankomst ifølge Procopios.
We do not know if the event, at which the owner of the buckle in Finnestorp was defeated, took place before orafter the Herulian royal family arrived according to Procopius.Det er åbenlyst, når man læser Procopios, at herulerne i Illyrien ikke kunne accepteres som rigtige kristne, da en del af dem ikke ønskede at følge monoteismen.
It is obvious by reading Procopius that the Heruls in Illyria could not be accepted as true Christians as a part of them did not want to follow the monotheism.Trods omtalen af forfædreguderne fortalte Jordanes også atgoternes krigsgud hed Mars, ligesom Procopios fortalte, at hovedguden i Skandinavien var en krigsgud Ares/Mars.
In spite of the mentioning of ancestor gods Jordanes also told that the war god of theGoths was earlier Mars, just as Procopius told that the main god in Scandinavia was a wargod Ares/Mars.Når Procopios kunne fortælle om de hedenske herulere, som brændte deres døde på store bål, må det altså være de hedenske herulere i Norden, han har hørt om.
As Procopius could tell about pagan Heruls burning their dead in big fires, he must have described the habits of the Heruls in Scandinavia being referred by followers of Datius.Vi ved ikke om den begivenhed, ved hvilken ejeren af spændet i Finnestorp blev dræbt, fandt sted før ellerefter den herulske kongefamilies ankomst ifølge Procopios. Runerne og Odin behandles i de senere hovedkapitler.
We do not know if the event, at which the owner of the buckle in Finnestorp was defeated, took place before orafter the Herulian royal family arrived according to Procopius. Odin and the runes will be addressed in the next chapters.Dette er blevet støttet af Mary Whitbys analyse af Procopios' Bog I, som fremstiller Konstantinopel og Hagia Sofia i sammenligning med samtidige hedenske panegyriske værker.
This is supported by Mary Whitby 's analysis of Procopius' depiction of Constantinople and the Church of Hagia Sophia in comparison to contemporary pagan panegyrics Buildings, Book I.Procopios havde fra sin position tæt på det byzantinske hof direkte adgang til oplysninger fra de herulske lejesoldater, som netop var vendt tilbage fra Norden 38 år efter deres oprindelige ankomst.
Procopius received from a position close to the Byzantine court information from this Herulian envoy, which had just returned from Scandinavia 38 years after their arrival.Først da nyhederne om de herulske sendebud til Norden i 548 cirkulerede i Konstantinopelskrev både Jordanes og Procopius om heruler i Skandinavien i henholdsvis 551 og 553- og Procopios fortalte endda, at de ankom dertil omkring 508-510.
First when the news about a Herulian envoy to Scandinavia in 548 AD were circulating in the city of Constantinople both Procopios opgjorde dem omkring 548 til 3000 i Datius hær og til 1.500 i romersk tjeneste, som i 553 var steget til 3000- dækkende omkring 12% af hæren i goterkrigene.
Procopius counted around 548 AD 3.000 soldiers in the army of Datius and 1.500 in the Roman army, and in 553 AD he counted 3.000 soldiers in the Roman army- covering around 12% of the army against the Goths.De havde selv forskellige motiver til at beskrive herulernes ankomst, så deres vægt på oplysningerne kan tolkes sådan, at herulerne først slog sig ned mellem daner og göter, hvorfra de siden blev fordrevet mod nord afdanerne- altså to etaper, som også bekræftes af Procopios' anvendelse af udtrykket"dengang.
They had opposite motives to describe the arrival of the Heruls. The interpretation of their way to describe it can therefore be that the Heruls first settled between the Danes and the Goetes from where they were later expelled further north- in two steps.This is maybe confirmed by Procopius' use of the expression"at that time.Forklaringen støtter Jordanes' og Procopios' samtidige andenhåndsberetninger skrevet med modsatte motiver om herulernes tilstedeværelse og skæbne i Norden i 500-tallet.
The explanation is supporting the two contemporary second hand reports by Jordanes and Procopius written with opposite motives regarding the presence and destiny of the Heruls in Scandinavia in the 6th century.De nye brandgravsskikke i Mälarregionen er diamentralt modsat herulernes gamle skikke, idet der slet ikke er brandgrave de steder, hvor de opererede i Sydeuropa. Når Procopios kunne fortælle om de hedenske herulere, som brændte deres døde på store bål, må det altså være de hedenske herulere i Norden, han har hørt om.
The new cremation customs in the Maelar region are quite opposite the old burial customs of the Heruls as no cremations are found where they operated in Southern Europe. As Procopius could tell about pagan Heruls burning their dead in big fires, he must have described the habits the Heruls in Scandinavia being referred by followers of Datius.Procopios fortsatte:"Og de fleste af mennesker blev så overvældede af deres sult, at hvis de fandt en smule af græs nogen steds, ville de skynde sig til det med stor iver, og knælende ville de forsøge at trække det op fra jorden.
Procopius continued:"And the most of people were so overcome by their hunger that if they happened upon a bit of grass anywhere, they would rush to it with great eagerness, and kneeling down, would try to pull it up from the ground.Det er klart, atdenne historie var velkendt i Konstantinopel 548-553 som"hot news". I 551 afsluttede Jordanes sit værk i Byzans og i 553 afsluttede Procopios sit værk samme sted- dvs. at 2 uafhængige kilder inden for mindre end 5 år efter deputationen begge for første gang berettede om heruler og daner i Norden- begge folk endda i kombination.
It is obvious that this story was well known in Constantinople 548-553 AD as“hot news”. In551 AD Jordanes finished his work in Byzans and in 553 AD also Procopius finished his work at the same place- in other words two independent sources had less than 5 years after the return of the envoy told about Heruls and Danes in Scandinavia in combination for the first time.Procopios tilhørte den skole af senantikke, sekulære historikere, som fortsatte traditionerne fra den anden sofisme. De skrev på attisk græsk, deres forebilleder var Herodot og særlig Thukydid, og deres emner var altid sekulær historie.
Procopius belongs to the school of late antique secular historians who continued the traditions of the Second Sophistic; they wrote in Attic Greek, their models were Herodotus, Polybius and especially Thucydides, and their subject matter was secular history.I 551 afsluttede Jordanes sit værk i Byzans og i 553 afsluttede Procopios sit værk samme sted- dvs. at 2 uafhængige kilder inden for mindre end 5 år efter deputationen begge for første gang berettede om heruler og daner i Norden- begge folk endda i kombination.
In 551 AD Jordanes finished his work in Byzans and in 553 AD also Procopius finished his work at the same place- in other words two independent sources had less than 5 years after the return of the envoy told about Heruls and Danes in Scandinavia in combination for the first time.Vi skal være varsomme med en detaljeret brug af Jordanes' og Procopios' udtalelser om denne vandring, da de ikke kunne overskue nordeuropæisk geografi, og da deres kildemateriale omkring begivenheder 40 år før deres egen tid kunne være tilfældigt og ukritisk behandlet.
We shall be careful about the use of the detailed information from Jordanes and Procopius as they had no general idea of the geography of Northern Europe. Furthermore their sources regarding events 40 years before their own time could be handled uncritical and circumstantial.I 551 afsluttede Jordanes sit værk i Byzans og i 553 afsluttede Procopios sit værk samme sted- dvs. at 2 uafhængige kilder inden for mindre end 5 år efter deputationen begge for første gang berettede om en møde mellem heruler og daner i Norden.
In 551 AD Jordanes finished his work in Constantinople and in 553 AD also Procopius finished his work at the same place- in other words two independent sources had less than 5 years after the return of the envoy told about Heruls and Danes in Scandinavia for the first time- both mentioning the combination.
