Biblio Atlas | Poetic Edda I Dictionary of Mythological Tales @BiblioAtlas | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Poetic Edda is essentially an amazing portable library that can easily lead you to a variety of other books because so many mythological creatures are brefly mentioned. Many of these names actually refer to other stories. I'd consider it a dictionary or reference book of stories rather than simply a single epic poem. The downside is how condensed the information is makes it rather difficult to read for those who are unfamiliar with Norse Mythology. The upside is this makes it a fabulous book for re-reading because there's always something new to discover.
My quotes & information mentioned are all from the introduction in the Oxford World’s Classics edition pictured on your screen. This video is simply a brief introduction for this book with some background information for newbies or folks who are curious about if they'd like to read it or not.
A list all the pronounced names in order of appearance, in case I mispronounced them so much, they aren’t recognizable for Norwegian speakers.
