In this connection we find the key to Svipdag's irreconcilable conflict with Gram-Halfdan. He must revenge himself on him on his father's and mother's account. He must avenge his mother's disgrace, his grandfather Sigtrygg's death, and, as a further investigation shows, the murder also of his father Orvandel. We also find why he pardons Gudhorm: he is his own half-brother and Groa's son.

Sigtrygg, Groa, Orvandel, and Svipdag have in the myth belonged to the pedigree of the Ynglings, and hence Saxo calls Sigtrygg king in Svithiod. Concerning the Ynglings, Ynglingasaga remarks that Yngvi was the name of everyone who in that time was the head of the family (Ynglingasaga 10). Svipdag, the favourite hero of the Teutonic mythology, is accordingly celebrated in song under the name Yngvi, and also under other names to which I shall refer later, when I am to give a full account of the myth concerning him.
