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.
