tales from Norse mythology

The prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson

Jacob Edwards

Interesting stuff - the Norse peeps were pretty wack.
I also admire Snorri's academic distancing - he doesn't allow his religion (Christianity) to influence the storytelling all that much (except in that prologue.. it's riddled with Jesus). The myths are exceptionally imaginative, particularly so considering they were curated c.1000ish (although the poems and such themselves that Snorri draws upon likely existed hundreds of years prior). A particular favourite anecdote if mine is Loki bedding a horse, and consequently birthing his own eight-legged horse-baby.

The Prose Edda

Stavros Kosmas

So very interesting for someone looking into foreign mythologies. I found the amount of humor in some of the stories very cool, but also I was shocked at how much Lord of the Rings is inspired by this

One of the great storybooks of the middle ages: a master storyteller from the thirteenth century recounts classic tales of Icelandic mythology along with a lesson to young poets on the importance of learning, respecting, and continuing traditional Icelandic poetic styles.
