In some ways, they seem to have different religious customs. Ur was the great metropolis of its time, so why leave it. Though it does not describe the cause it describes a familiar theme in this rivalry: the repulsion of the Swedes by the Danes. To do this he diguises himself and calls himself Gangleri. IS THE SURVIVING VIKING MYTH REALLY DANISH AND NORWEGIAN MYTH? What makes this even more interesting is that Uppsala and Leire are a long ways apart. The one in Denmark gave the city Odense (‘Odin’s shrine’) its name.
It states that neither the Aeisir or Vanir could win over the other. According to the myth this is not the case. Gylfi found and followed a track out of the forest and came back to his court. As a result, the Drott of Sweden felt compelled to adopt their same title, a symbol of power, showing that the power of Uppsala was waning and fading at this time.
Gylfi … This, though, seems to be of latter origin, as a result of the Viking invasions, and tells us nothing of where the word originally came from or what it originally meant. To do this he diguises himself and calls himself Gangleri. Gylfi was a bit worried about going to see the Aesir. It’s no surprise, then, that most of the conflict, in the later years, would center around the power centers of Leire and Uppsala, as they were primarily power struggles of the Kings.
