Samenvatting

The most renowned of all works of Scandinavian literature and our most extensive source of Norse mythology Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, the Prose Edda tells ancient stories of the Norse creation epic and recounts the battles that follow as gods, giants, dwarves and elves struggle for survival. In prose interspersed with powerful verse, the Edda shows the gods tragic realization that the future holds one final cataclysmic battle, Ragnarok, when the world will be destroyed. these tales have proved to be among the most influential of all myths and legends, inspiring works such as Wagners Ring Cycle and Tolkiens the Lord of the Rings. Translated with an Introduction and notes by JESSE BYOCK
