the eddas

The edda's are two collections of old Norse writings which together form the most authoritative sources of Norse mythology available today. The oldest is the Poetic Edda which is a collection of thirty four Icelandic poems and prose dating from the 9th to 12th century. The second is the Prose Edda, the work of Icelandic poet and historian Snorri Sturluson (1179 - 1241).

At present I have only a few translations of these works. In time I hope to have many more, if you know of any sources where I can find some please e-mail me. For now enjoy what I have .
*note* The Prose Edda links are to an external site and will open in a new browser window. This page will remain open.
