This article is a response to R.I. Page’s challenge on Dumézil’s proof that Egils 28th stanza is an illustration of the triad of Odinn-Freyr-Thor. First, the article develops Dumézil’s reading of Egill’s actions after king Eirik’s refusal to give him back the family land for which he had asked. Dumézil sees the following episode as a progression in Egill’s vengeance: it starts at the thing, is developed in stanzas 28-29, and finished with the níðstöng. In this context, the translation of “Landáss” as Thor is explained. Second, Dumézil refuses Bo Almqvist’s diverging interpretation of Landáss as a landvættir’s leader. The last part of the article is a quotation of Page’s critique to this point and Dumézil’s answer. | This article is a response to R.I.

Chapter 58: landás: “[…] le poète appelle à le venger, avec l’ensemble des puissances divines, quatre dieux personnels: Ódin, puis Niord et Freyr en couple, puis à la place ou l’analogie du culte upsalien fait attendre Thor, un land-áss, un « Ase de la terre, du pays », qui semble bien, en effet, désigner Thor périphrastiquement“ (p. 345).
