Edda
Book • 1950
Snorri Sturluson's Edda, also known as the Prose Edda, is a primary source for understanding Norse mythology and poetics.
Composed in the early 13th century, it consists of three main sections: the Prologue, Gylfaginning, and Skáldskaparmál.
The Prologue provides a euhemeristic account of the Norse gods, linking them to figures from classical antiquity.
Gylfaginning presents a narrative overview of Norse cosmology, mythology, and the adventures of the gods.
Skáldskaparmál focuses on the language of poetry, offering explanations of kennings and providing a rich source of mythological tales.
The Edda is invaluable for its preservation of Norse myths and its insights into the skaldic poetic tradition.
