Note 220 — Chapter VII · MYTHICAL ELEMENTS IN THE HEROIC POEMS.
Reading edition
Cf. Schütte, Oldsagn om Godtjod, pp. 35-38, where it is well pointed out that all the clearest cases of myth in early Teutonic records belong to stories dealing with the origin of nations or dynasties. "Den eneste udtrykkelige Myte, der udenfor specielt religiøse Gøremål har været episk frugtbar i Folkevandringstiden er Ophavsmyten."
