The "Sonatorrek" ("the irreparable loss of sons") is a tenth century poem by Egill Skallagrímsson (904 to 990 A.D.), and identifies Hel/Hela with death. The poem was written to record Egill's grief and suicidal thoughts, after his son Böðvar drowned at sea. Egill reports that remorseless Hel/Hela has taken his son, and that he eagerly waits for his own death.
