Description: The Poetic or Elder Edda

Synopsis:

The Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems, is one of the primary sources for Norse myth and heroic tradition. The Edda is divided into two sections: the mythological lays-which cover the deities and Norse cosmology, and the heroic lays-which cover the Völsung cycle (Sigurd, Gudrun, Brynhild, Hogni, etc.). In this Northvegr edition, Thorpe's translation is presented unabridged and unedited. Included in this translation are lays that are not normally included in other translations, including Hrafnagaldr Óðins, Sólarljóð and Gróttasongr.
