The Poetic Edda
translated by Larrington, Carolyne
World's Classics, 1996
  * Highly Recommended *

(The Poetic Edda also known as the Elder Edda. The Edda contained 35 poems. The poems were preserved in the Codex Regis, in c. 1270, the original composition of the poems were lot older. The authors of these poems were unknown, and were composed over a period of 800 and 1100 AD. The Poetic Edda can be divided into mythological lays and heroic lays. The mythological section deals with tales about the gods. The heroic poems, except the Völundarkvida (the "Lay of Volund"), were poems forming the Nibelungen cycle. There are too many poems to list here (35).

See Norse Sagas for a selection of tales found in Timeless Myths.)
