Eddas

Eddas

by Snorri Sturleson

The Eddas are two collections of Icelandic medieval literature that provide a comprehensive overview of Norse mythology. The Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson, is a guide to the mythology, explaining the creation of the world, the tales of gods and heroes, and the concept of the afterlife. The Poetic Edda is a compilation of poems, myths, and legends that offer a more poetic and lyrical interpretation of Norse mythology.
