Edda

Two collections of early Icelandic literature that together constitute our chief source for Old Norse mythology. The term strictly applies to the Younger or Prose Edda, compiled by Snorri Sturluson, a priest, in about AD 1230.

The Elder or Poetic Edda is the collection of poems discovered around 1643 by Brynjólfr Sveinsson, written by unknown Norwegian poets of the 9th to 12th centuries.
