[[Egla,_73|Chapter 73]]: '''spýju''': "The theme of Egill's relation to his god Óðinn, … seems to have directed the writer of ''Egils saga'', or his source, in the choice, or invention, of congruous incidents throughout Egill's life-story … . This Odinic theme developed in association perhaps with another that we may discern, that of the dark clan to which Egill belongs, … . Thematic structuring of this kind may be highly developed in some sagas, less consistently maintained in others, and in others again, perhaps not present at all, in accordance with the skill and insight of those who gave articulation to the traditions at any stage in their transmission." (p. 57).
