    Why is Japan called "Land of the Rising Sun" and Norway "Land of the Midnight Sun"?

    Paraphrasing a Norse hero, "...I have not seen a land so fertile and rich, nor a people so cowardly." Who was he, and of whom was he talking about?

    He never reached the land most associated with him, dying before his people reached it. He campaigned against the Ethiopians, and took a daughter of Pharoah for his second wife. This wife made it to the destined land, but died in the early stages of the conquest. Many of his sons also died in the campaign. Of whom am I asking - and after which of the former rulers is the land named?
