«Старшая Эдда» — великий скандинавский эпос, стоящий наряду с «Илиадой», «Одиссеей» и «Махабхаратой», — до недавнего времени не имел современного пересказа и был неизвестен широкой публике. Однако составляющие его «Песни о богах» и «Песни о героях» признаны истоком всей западноевропейской фэнтези и фантастики. Заметное влияние «Старшая Эдда» оказала и на Джона Р.Р. Толкина, благодаря чему был создан «Властелин колец» и популярность обрели такие древнеисландские существа, как гномы, тролли, орки, эльфы и, конечно же, боги Асгарда, украшающие сейчас постеры всемирно известных фильмов Marvel.
