Háleygjatal
Háleygjatal is a skaldic poem by Eyvindr skáldaspillir.
The poem is only partially preserved in disjoint parts quoted in Skáldskaparmál, Heimskringla and two other manuscripts of kings' sagas. It appears to imitate Ynglingatal. It is composed in the same meter, kviðuháttr, and the theme seems to be to trace the lineage of the poet's patron to the gods.
A part of the poem quoted in Ynglinga saga mentions Odin and Skaði.
