Annotation
A discussion of the episode in Egils saga where Skallagrim and Thorgerd Brak go head to head, focusing on the character of Thorgerd Brak, whose description and actions are very unusual for a woman in saga literature. She is said to be “mikil fyrir sér”, a phrase used to describe a woman in no more than three instances in the Sagas of Icelanders to Dillmann’s knowledge but one that seems fitting here.
Lýsing
Greining á þeim kafla í Eglu þar sem Skallagrímur og Þorgerður brák takast á. Dillmann vekur athygli á persónu Þorgerðar, en lýsingin á henni og athöfnum hennar er óvenjuleg fyrir konu í fornsögunum. Hún er sögð vera be „mikil fyrir sér“, en það orðalag er aðeins notað þrisvar sinnum um konur í Íslendingasögum, samkvæmt talningu Dillmanns, og á afar vel við í þessu tilviki.
