About this listen

Eight hundred years ago, an heir to the Vikings collected their myths and wrote them down. Here are those original tales of Odin and Thor, magic and might, presented for your listening enjoyment.

The Prose Edda (also known as Snorri's Edda or The Younger Edda) is a manual of poetics written by Snorri Sturluson around the year 1220. In it, Snorri compiled the old myths and legends of the Norsemen, in order that poets from his time might draw on these stories to keep the Icelandic-Viking heritage alive.

Although they are a secondary source, they remain one of our oldest references for the original Norse Myths, as the Vikings themselves told them.

for this title. That's it. C Moore may have a beautiful cut-glass English accent but it is simply not appropriate for this content.

Sorry, but the narrator could not be more wrong -
