  • Легенда о Гамлете — комплекс отраженных в письменных источниках мифов, легенд и реальных исторических событий, которые повлияли (или могли повлиять) на создание Уильямом Шекспиром трагедии «Гамлет». Истории и легенды об убийстве братьев (мужей/зятьев и т. п.) и последующей мести за отцов в разных вариациях присутствуют в мифологии разных стран и времен: от Римской республики до стюартовской Англии. Сага Саксона Грамматика легла в основу кинофильма «Принц Ютландии» (1994). (ru)
