Poem by a Young Viking

Saw this in a Reykjavik museum, written by a 6 year old Viking a millennium ago https://corlearshookfencibles.blogspot.com/2025/08/poem-by-young-viking.html

Ah yes, I thought it might be him; Egill, son of the dusk-wolf.

Sounds like a fairy tale.

I listened to those words sung a thousand times, but never knew they originated from the real Viking past. Thank you!

I like the museum's translation better than the one in the songs. He gets a Viking boat, not a galley. Such a Mediterranean craft wouldn't last long in the Atlantic. And he's not after his enemies, just whoever gets in his way.
