Reading edition
The eagles dreamt of by Angantyr were thought to be the fylgjas of champions (Hervarar Saga, c. 5).
Thorstein Vikingsson saw in the many bears which attacked him a foreboding of a king or a king’s son (Gautrek and Hrolf’s Saga; Thorstein Vikingsson, c. 12).
Thus also Geitir guessed the birth of Thorstein Uxafot from the white bear cub, which he had observed walking ahead of the latter.
