	Ongenþeow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ongenþeow, Ongentheow, Ongendþeow, Egil, Egill, Eigil, or Angantyr (- ca 515) was the name of one or two semi-legendary Swedish kings of the house of Scylfings, who appear in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian sources.
		In these sources, Egil was the son of Aun the Old, and like him, not very warlike.
		Egil was killed by a bull during the sacrifices at the Temple at Uppsala.

		Egil, Agantyr or Ongentheow was a Swedish king of the House of Ynglings.
		It was only when Frodi, the king of Denmark, aided Egil, that he was able to defeat Tunne, and this was after eight battles.
		According to Snorri, Egil was killed by a bull.

	DepthCharge's Iron Wolves :: You must die, I alone am best!
		Egil Iron Wolf padded to a stop as he saw a deluge of firepower pouring down the hallway perpendicular to their advance.The air was so thick with bullets, laser rounds, gouts of fiery promethium, and the smell of fyceline, the barrage became almost tangible.
		Egil and the rest of the retinue were quick through the hole cleansing the room quickly in a brief, brutal struggle.
		Egil mag-clipped his helmet to his belt and reactivated his bionic eye as they ran, letting the full extent of his senses tell him what was going on.

	Northvegr - Egil's Saga
		Although, as we have seen, Egil and his comrades were not Christians, the Christian faith is incidentally mentioned as prevailing in England, and towards the end of the Saga we read that Thorstein, Egil's youngest son, became eventually a Christian.
		Egil certainly must have been a remarkable man. Strong in body beyond his fellows, he was no less uncommonly gifted in mind, a poet as well as a soldier.
		That the bad points in Egil's character are not screened is surely one proof of the truthfulness of the Saga-writer; a mere eulogist would have blazoned forth all his hero's noble exploits, but veiled the other side, and hardly would anyone inventing a fictitious character have put such dark blots in it.

	The Poetry of the Skalds
		Egil was a complex individual, as full of fiery temper and battle skill as he was of artistic talent, or of love for his family and his god Odin -- the god of poetry and wisdom (among other things).
		Egil, travelling alone, could have moved incognito to the nearest port and gotten himself a ride out, but he thought it would seem cowardly if he was caught attempting to flee from the land of his enemy.
		Egil stayed up all night composing a 20-verse poem in Eirik's praise, though he was pestered by a bird who was thought to be Gunnhild in shape- changed form.

	Raids and Battles
		He was very big and strong and with Egil watching, the berserker fury came upon him and howling, he began to bite the rim of his shield.
		Egil knew he had only one tactic to use against such a strong, fierce berserker and that was to attack violently and not give the other ground to swing back if possible.
		The modern view of the Vikings is as being constant heroes or at least dying a heroic death; or of an aristocratic society with Jarls and Kings with loyal bands of warriors, controlled by the rights and duties that lord and man owed to each other.

	Fathom :: The Source for Online Learning
		The poetry that Egil and his peers specialized in--scaldic poetry, as it is now termed--is most importantly praise poetry, designed to commemorate kings and other prominent people, often in the form of quite long poems.
		Egil responded with a verse that has become a classic expression of the "Viking mentality." Already by the age of 6 Egil has defined the tough-guy part of himself.
		Egil then composes what most people agree is the finest poem of its period, one describing how Odin has stolen his son and yet provided him with some small compensation in the form of his poetic skill.

	Egil's Bones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Egil, the son of Skalla-Grim, is the most memorable Viking to appear in the Old Norse sagas.
		Egil's Saga precisely describes the skull as "ridged all over on the outside like a scallop shell." The precision is striking because the passage marks the only instance in all Old Norse literature that the otherwise well-known words hörpuskel (scallop shell) and báróttr (ridged, undulated, waved, corrugated, wrinkled) are used to describe human characteristics.
		Because Egil's symptoms provide a striking picture of Paget's disease, one might ask whether the unearthing of the bones in the mid-12th century might be the source for the poetry.

	A Brief Bit of Background on Egil and Bjarni
		Egil, the son of Njal the Lawspeaker, was born on October 1, 1006 in the Westfjords of Iceland.
		In the summer of 1041, Egil discovered a basket on his doorstep with a crying child in it, and a note attached which said "this is yours -- you take care of it." Thinking back to the previous fall, he recalled a druidic festival and the fertility rites which followed, and this made him smile.
		It was at age 59 that Egil first discovered and married the 17-year-old Elaine, who saw beyond Egil's age to the finer points of his character.

		Egil then accepted a rare opportunity to develop his Music Director skills at the now legendary MARS-FM in Los Angeles - the station that broke techno /rave music on U.S. radio with The Orb, Prodigy, and Moby.
		In 1992, Egil began to focus on the future beats of club culture when the first radio broadcast of his own GROOVE RADIO INTERNATIONAL program was heard from the Arizona desert.

		Viking Egil Skallagrimsson was a rare synthesis of action and introspection, of daring and thoughtful complexity.
		The brain which directed axe-blows and composed stratagems likewise seethed with poetry and expressed it with a skill that calmed the anger of hostile kings; Odin's inspiration could be expressed in rhyme and meter as well as in berserk fury and splintered shields.
		Egil Skallagrimsson lived a life of the sword and of poetry - called "Odin's word sword" by the skalds.

		Egil certainly must have been a remarkable man. Strong in body beyond his fllows, he was no less uncommonly gifted in mind, a poet as well as a soldier.
		Egil is supposed once to do this with the name of a woman; it is hidden so carefully that his friend Arinbjorn cannot discover it, nor have commentators satisfactorily found it yet.
		Some of Egil's verses are of great force and spirit; he had a true poetic vein, and depends less on artificialities than some of the Icelandic verse-writers; but the merit and attractiveness of the Saga does not rest on these detached verses.

		Kevin Wald: Egil at the Bat The plot of the following work is extrapolated from the first half of Chapter 40 of Egil's Saga; the scheme -- and, for that matter, forty percent of the lines -- are stolen outright from a certain well-known Vinlander epic.
		There was ease in Egil's manner as he stepped into his place; There was pride in Egil's bearing, and a sneer on Egil's face.
		Then Egil scrambled to his feet, and, beaten but unbowed, He left the sporting-field amidst the jeering of the crowd.

		The story of Egil son of Grim the Bald (Skalla-Grim) is one of the prose works from medieval Iceland known as sagas, and of the major sagas it probably most closely approximates the image popularly associated with the word.
		Egil's Saga is a plainly written, quick, and easy text, but you might want to keep this one away from the particularly young ones since there is an incredible amount of pretty graphic violence.
		Egil's Saga is thought to be written by Snorri Sturluson around 1230 but there in no hard evidence to attest to this fact.

	Egil's Saga - Bernard Scudder - Penguin Group (USA) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Egil’s Saga tells the story of the long and brutal life of tenth-century warrior-poet and farmer Egil Skallagrimsson: a psychologically ambiguous character who was at once the composer of intricately beautiful poetry and a physical grotesque capable of staggering brutality.
		This Icelandic saga recounts Egil’s progression from youthful savagery to mature wisdom as he struggles to defend his honor in a running feud with the Norwegian king Erik Bloodaxe and fight for the English king Athelstan in his battles against Scotland.
		Exploring issues as diverse as the question of loyalty, the power of poetry, and the relationship between two brothers who love the same woman, Egil’s Saga is a fascinating depiction of a deeply human character.

		But based on the symptoms reported in the article, I think another condition may be possible - acromegaly, the overproduction of growth hormone.
		Later in life, excess growth hormone is linked to coarsened features - a prominent brow ridge, enlargement of the nose and chin, and bossing of the forehead.
