THE STORY OF EGIL SKALLAGRIMSSON:
Translated by REV. W. C. GREEN,
"Egill Skallagrímsson (910-c.990) was a Viking skald and the great anti-hero of Icelandic literature. Several accounts tell of him slaughtering as many as 20 or more armed men singlehandedly and even dispatching a feared berserker with relative ease. In spite of this, he was considered a healer, and his saga tells of him curing a girl who had been ill for quite some time where all other efforts had proven futile. In some ways he resembled his god Odin: breaking his oaths, killing for trifles, and practicing sorcery."
