About the book

The Poetic Edda is the principal collection of Old Norse mythological and heroic poems and one of the most important sources for Norse mythology. Its poems tell of gods such as Odin, Thor and Loki, the creation and destruction of the world, and legendary heroes including Sigurd and Brynhild. Preserved mainly in the medieval Codex Regius, the collection is fundamental to the study of Viking-age belief, legend and poetry.
