The Prose Edda

by Snorri Sturleson

Step into the realm of Norse mythology, where gods and goddesses clash, heroes embark on epic quests, and the forces of creation and destruction collide.

Sturluson, an Icelandic scholar and poet, masterfully compiled and preserved the rich oral traditions of Norse mythology, weaving together tales of creation, the pantheon of gods, and the cosmic battles that shaped the world. The Prose Edda is divided into four sections, each delving into a different aspect of Norse mythology.
