Skip to product information
The Elder and Younger Edda and the mythical tales of the Skaldic Poetic Edda and Snorri's Edda together form our most important source for Old Norse mythology. One should not be used and read without the other. The Poetic Edda combines sagas of gods and heroes, some of which date back to the 9th century. They describe legendary events from Iceland, Norway, and Greenland during the so-called Viking Age. The Younger Edda was originally a textbook for young singers, or skalds, with which they were to learn the fundamentals of their art.
Through its examples from contemporary and ancient songs, it now forms an invaluable treasure trove for Norse-Germanic mythology, which had long since been suppressed in Germany at the time.
Hardcover, 464 pages,
Format: approx. 12.5 x 18.7 cm
