The greatest source of knowledge of Viking lore.
The mythology surrounding ancient Norse gods and heroes has
inspired countless writers and artists, including Tennyson, Wagner,
William Morris, Tolkien, Borges, and Auden. Compiled by an unknown
scribe in Iceland around 1270 and based on sources dating back
centuries earlier, these poems tell of the heroic deeds of gods and
mortals: the giant- slaying Thor, the doomed Volsung family, the
Hell-ride of Brynhild, and the cruelty of Atli (Attila the Hun).
Eclectic, incomplete, and fragmented, the verses nevertheless
retain a stark beauty and enthralling power, opening a window onto
the thoughts, beliefs, and hopes of the Vikings and their world.
