>******GK: Well, that's the prologue to Snorri's Edda

not to Heimskringla. Note that the Odin business is
presented quite differently in the Edda prologue.
There he is claimed to be a descendant of Priam of
Troy and his starting whereabouts located in the area
of Turkey. There are no specifics as to his trek. So
if he wound up in Saxony he did indeed need to travel
towards the north, as per your quote.*****
