| | Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology |
 | | There being so close a relation between the progenitors of these great hero-families of Teutonic mythology, it is highly improbable that the Amalians did not also act an important part in the first great world war, since all the Teutonic tribes, and consequently surely their first families of mythic origin, took part in it. |
 | | In the ancient records of the North, we discover a trace which indicates that the Amalians actually did fight on that side where we should expect to find them, that is, on Hadding's, and that Hamal himself was the field-commander of his foster-brother. |
 | | We also learn in our Norse records that fylkja Hamalt, "to draw up in line of battle as Hamal did," means the same as svínfylkja, that is, to arrange the battalions in the form of a wedge. |
