Chapter 80: Sonatorrek: "Nowhere is this burning love for Óðinn expressed more clearly than it is in the Sonatorrek, in which Egill rebukes his 'patron', who has deserted him and deprived him of his sons. We cannot say that other Icelandic poets worshipped Óðinn as passionately as Egill did, but it is plain that he filled an honourable place in their conceptions of the divine world." (p. 9).
