	The author highlights the main scenes that feature ~~Egill’s~~ poetry and its unique, innovative qualities including self-mockery of his appearance, the poem Hofuðlausn as the first instance of ~~running rímur~~ in Old Norse. He draws connections between Egil’s poetry and Hávamál, providing a reading of Egil’s saga in terms of family, faith, and veneration of Odin. He also examines the duality of Egil, acting as both “family man and viking” (44). Arguing for Egil’s placement as the greatest poet of the age, he notes the sensitivity and picaresque traits of the hero.

	Stefán Einarsson fjallar sérstaklega um þá kafla Eglu þar sem kveðskapur Egils er í brennidepli. Hann ræðir ~~ýmiss~~ frumleg einkenni kvæðanna þar sem skáldið gerir meðal annars grín að eigin ~~útlit~~. Þá bendir hann á að Höfðlausn sé elsta dæmi ~~endarím~~ í norrænum kveðskap. Einnig gerir hann samanburð á kvæðum Egils og Hávamálum og túlkar Eglu í ljósi hugmynda um fjölskyldubönd, örlög og Óðinsdýrkun. Hann ræðir líka tvískipt hlutverk Egils sem fjölskylduföður og víkings. Niðurstaðan er sú að Egill hafi verið merkasta skáld sinnar aldar og bendir á að í persónulýsingu hans megi bæði greina stórkarlalegar og viðkvæmnislegar hliðar.
