'Elder Eddas of Saemund Sigfusson; and the Younger Eddas of Snorre Sturleson' Summary
The 'Elder Eddas,' a collection of poems, primarily composed in the 13th century, offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Norse mythology. These poems detail the creation myth, the deeds of gods and heroes, and the cyclical nature of life and death, encompassing the concepts of fate, destiny, and the afterlife.
