Professor Bugge's North of England theory is slightly stronger, being supported by several Old English expressions in the poems, but these are not enough to prove that they were composed in England, since most Icelanders travelled east at some time of their lives. A later study will deal with the Heroic legends. Ynglinga Saga. Völuspa. A poem of similar form occurs among the heroic poems.
In this connexion, Snorri's Edda and the mythical Ynglinga Saga may also be considered, but as both were compiled a couple of centuries or more after the introduction of Christianity into Iceland, it is uncertain how much in them is literary explanation of tradition whose meaning was forgotten; some also, especially in Snorri, is probably pure invention, fairy tale rather than myth.
Ynglinga Saga says that Odin and the Aesir came to Norway from Asia; a statement due, of course, to a false etymology, though theories as to the origin of Norse mythology have been based on it. Tyr. Baldr. The Baldr theories are stated in the following authorities: Ritual origin: Frazer, The Golden Bough, vol. 3. Vegtamskvida.
