	Amazon.com: Egil's Saga (Classics): Books: Anonymous,Hermann Palsson,Paul Edwards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This saga examines four generations of a redoubtable Icelandic family of warrior poets thought to be descended from trolls, beginning with Kveldulf in the first generation; Skallagrim, in the second; Egil, in the third; and finally petering out with Thorstein, who is content to be a mere farmer.
		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.

	Discretion and deceit
		This part of the saga is an account of the victory of the English king Athelstan over a combined force of Norsemen and Scots on an unidentified battlefield referred to in the saga as `Vinheiðr'.
		He allows that Egils saga in general and this episode in particular may be full of errors and confusions, but seizes upon the fact that Campbell admits that `the main outline.
		The author of Egils saga unfolds his account of the Vinheiðr stratagem in a manner reminiscent of this ruse-story in Josephus, but the Icelandic author is more subtle in his manipulation of incidental details.

	The story of Egil Skallagrimsson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.
		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.

	Eyrbyggja saga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name means the saga of the inhabitants of Eyrr, which is a farm on Snæfellsnes on Iceland.
		The saga takes begins at the time of Iceland's settlement, but most of the events, such as the adventures of Styrbjörn the Strong, take place towards the end of the 10th century and the early 11th century.
		There is internal evidence that the author of the saga knew of the Laxdæla saga and Egils saga, and it was written fairly late in the history of saga writing.

	SagaOrality
		Egils saga Skallagrimssonar is traditionally ascribed to Snorri Sturluson, but without any certainty, and a portion of the sprawling Sturlunga Saga was written by Snorri's nephew, Sturla Þorðarson.
		Much of the debate erroneously focused on historicity: it was assumed that oral sagas fashioned contemporaneously with events would be historically accurate, and inaccuracies were the result of later, written accounts.
		Conversely, it is possible that the written sagas have influenced modern oral storytelling style to a certain extent.

		Njáls Saga is perhaps one of the most literary of the Icelandic family sagas, and also the one with the most elaborate narrative structure.
		Egils Saga may perhaps be called the funniest of the three sagas selected, and the one covering the widest geographical range of activities explored.
		The main question to be asked is what the Icelandic family sagas tell us about the hopes and expectations of their authors and readers, and how that can be used to construct a plausible representation of what the historical reality of Viking Age Iceland may have been like.

		From Egil's spell to avoid being poisoned, we know that the recitation of a galdor, the carving of the runes, and the dyeing of the runes all played a part in the casting of a rune spell.

		To them, not only was Ólafr no evangelist, he was not even a Christian, suggesting that perhaps the fame of Ólafr as the great Christian was an invention of the Icelandic saga authors, desirous a native Scandinavian saint rather than crediting the Christian conquest to the Archbishropic of Hamburg and other foreign sources.
		Both archaeology and historical sources outside the sagas seem to support the fact that Ólafr was not in fact responsible for the Conversion in Orkney.
		The saga tells that Grímr kamban was the first settler in the Faroes.

		Then Egil turned back and said, "I call you to witness, Arinbjorn, and you, Þord, and all those men who can now hear my words, nobleman, lawman, and everyone, that I lay a curse on all the estates which Bjorn has owned for living or for working.

		Chapter Three presents and analyzes every occurrence in Egils saga of the general verb taka 'take' with an accusative noun.
		The goal is to determine if there is a relationship between syntactic and morphological features of these constructions and their phraseological qualities, including semantic shifts and idiomaticity.
		When I analyzed the phrases grouped by the total number of exhibited features, I found weak evidence that the fewer the number of features, the more rigid the phrase, and the more likely it is to be idiomatic.
