Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age,
The Prose Edda is the source of most of what we know of Norse
mythology. Its tales are peopled by giants, dwarves, and elves,
superhuman heroes and indomitable warrior queens. Its gods live
with the tragic knowledge of their own impending destruction in the
cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Its time scale spans the eons from
the world's creation to its violent end. This robust new
translation captures the magisterial sweep and startling
psychological
complexity of the Old Icelandic original.First time in Penguin
ClassicsIncludes an introduction; explanatory notes; glossary;
appendices on the Norse cosmos, language, and sources, a map;
genealogical tables; suggestions for further reading
