Senses: examples: text: Baden has in 1820 claimed in a pamphlet that the Nordic myths, the whole world of the Eddic gods, were no more than the murky shadow of Greek and Roman mythology, and early medieval attempt by Northmen to copy the traditions of classical antiquity.

The Scandinavophiles saw it differently. Magnússon replied in 1821 with a treatise in reponse, which went point by point through the supposed models transferred from Greek mythology that Baden had tried to establish.
