The vibrant Old Norse poems in this 13th-century collection
recapture the ancient oral traditions of the Norsemen. These
mythological poems include the "Voluspo, " one of the broadest
literary conceptions of the world's creation and ultimate
destruction; the "Lokasenna, " a comedy bursting with vivid
characterizations; and more.

Poems, this vibrant compilation presents the heroic sagas of
Scandinavia's ancient oral traditions. These timeless legends of
superhuman warriors and doomed lovers have inspired storytellers
such as Richard Wagner and J. R. R. Tolkien and continue to enchant
modern readers.
