Book excerpt: The Prose Edda is the most renowned of all works of Scandinavian literature and our most extensive source for Norse mythology. Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, it tells ancient stories of the Norse creation epic and recounts the battles that follow as gods, giants, dwarves and elves struggle for survival. It also preserves the oral memory of heroes, warrior kings and queens. In clear prose interspersed with powerful verse, the Edda provides unparalleled insight into the gods' tragic realization that the future holds one final cataclysmic battle, Ragnarok, when the world will be destroyed. These tales from the pagan era have proved to be among the most influential of all myths and legends, inspiring modern works as diverse as Wagner's Ring Cycle and Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

Book excerpt: Norse Mythology The Prose Edda Also Called Snorre's Edda, or The Younger Edda by Snorri Sturluson Introduction By Rasmus B. Anderson The Prose Edda is one of two Old Norse compilations made in Iceland in the early 13th century. Together they comprise the major store of pagan Scandinavian mythology. The Prose Edda (1223) was the work of Snorri Sturluson who planned it as a textbook for writers of skaldic poetry, prefaced by a section on the Norse cosmogony, pantheon and myths. It begins with a euhemerized Prologue followed by three distinct books: Gylfaginning (consisting of around 20,000 words), Skaldskaparmal (around 50,000 words) and Hattatal (around 20,000 words). Seven manuscripts, dating from around 1300 to around 1600, have independent textual value. The purpose of the collection was to enable Icelandic poets and readers to understand the subtleties of alliterative verse, and to grasp the meaning behind the many kenningar (compounds) that were used in skaldic poetry. The Prose Edda was originally referred to as simply the Edda, but was later called the Prose Edda to distinguish it from the Poetic Edda, a collection of anonymous poetry from earlier traditional sources compiled around the same time as the Prose Edda in 13th century Iceland. The Prose Edda is related to the Poetic Edda in that the Prose Edda cites various poems collected in the Poetic Edda as sources.

Download or read book The Prose Edda written by Sturluson Snorri and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prose Edda, first systemized and captured as a coherent document by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson in the year 1220, contain the collection of traditional stories and legends handed down since the age of the Vikings, and has become the main source for all subsequent iterations of Norse mythology. Based on the earlier, and untitled "Poetic Edda," the Prose Edda covers the entire spectrum of Norse mythology from the creation to the prophesized destruction of the world. The work consists of three major parts: The Prologue, which is an euhemerized Christian account of the origins of Nordic mythology: the Nordic gods are described as human Trojan warriors who left Troy after the fall of that city and who settled in northern Europe, where they were accepted as divine kings because of their superior culture and technology. The second part, The Fooling of Gylfe, tells of the creation and destruction of the Nordic gods' world, and deals with many other aspects of Norse mythology. The third part, The Skáldskaparmál, consists of a dialogue between Ægir, a god associated with the sea, and Bragi, a skaldic god, in which both Nordic mythology and discourse on the nature of poetry are intertwined. This edition also contains an important introduction, a full set of explanatory notes, a vocabulary list, and an index.
