 These differences have to do with Saxo's elaboration and euhemerism in his descriptions of mainly Scandinavian history and mythology, Saxo's account on the tale of Thyri, for instance, is considered to be far more fantastic than the same tale presented by Sven.Saxo's work has been criticized for this reason.Kurt Johannesson's studies expanded greatly on the comprehension of "Gesta Danorum", deviating from the approach that focuses mostly in mythology, and allowing the development of a wider understanding of Saxo's works.
