Beasts of battle
The Beasts of battle is a poetic trope in Old English and Old Norse literature. It consists of the wolf, the raven, and the eagle, traditional animals accompanying the warriors to feast on the bodies of the slain.〔Herring.〕 It occurs in eight Old English poems and in the Old Norse Poetic Edda.
==History of the term==
The term originates with Francis Peabody Magoun, who first used it in 1955, although the combination of the three animals was first considered a theme by Maurice Bowra, in 1952.〔Honegger 289 n.3.〕
