The early 1900s caption reads: ""Sons of the Fins-Slagfinn, Egil, and Volund. They traveled south to Sweden and came to lake in place Wolfsdale and saw on margin of lake three maidens sitting and spinning flax."" The three brothers and their Valkyrie-wives are believed to represent the first three ages of the fourth humanity. Oldest was Egil, the innocent, whose children became the servants of Thor. The second was named Slagfinn, the hunter; the third, which in the tale gave the seed of the fourth great age, was Volund, the elf-king, the soul of humanity during that phase. Early one morning they found three women on the shore spinning flax, and beside them lay their swan-disguises, for they were Valkyries.
