Lýsing
Poole lýsir lífi Egils og notar það sem dæmi til að fjalla um hegðun víkinga. Hann ber eðli Óðins saman við eðli Egíls. Frá unga aldri til dauða sýnir Egíll tilhneigningu til að vera sannkallaður víkingur. Löngun hans til að fara í víking, dráp hans á tveimur drengjum og skáldahæfileikar eru sannanir fyrir víkingskap hans. Poole nefnir líka aðra víkingana í sögunni, einkum þá Kveld-Úlf, Skalla-Grím og Þórólf, til að sanna að Egils saga kynni fyrir lesendum ákveðin persónueinkenni víkinganna. Í lok inngangsins segir hann líka frá efni bókarinnar Egil, The Viking Poet.
