But he has placed the whole subject on a fresh footing, and much that is to follow will be drawn from his "Teutonic Mythology" (cited here from the English version by Rasmus B.Anderson, London, 1889, as "T.M.").
Let us take first some of the incontestable results of his investigations that affect Saxo.
SCIOLD is the father of Gram in Saxo, and the son of Sceaf in other older authorities.

Dr.Rydberg (97-101) forms the following equations for the Sciolding patriarchs:-- a.

Scef--Heimdal--Rig.
b.

Sciold--Borgar--Jarl.
c.

Gram--Halfdan--Koming.
Chief among the mythic tales that concern Saxo are the various portions of the Swipdag-Myth, which Dr.Rydberg has been able to complete with much success.
