Poetic Edda the Mythological Poems

by Henry Adams Bellows

Poetic Edda the Mythological Poems Cover

 

Staff Pick

The Poetic Edda is an excellent introduction to the Norse mythology that heavily influenced the works of authors such as Borges, Nietzche, and Tolkien. Henry Adams Bellows's translation is engaging. And, though it is well-annotated, it is never overwhelming.
Recommended by the Humanities Team, Powell's City of Books

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The vibrant Old Norse poems in this 13th-century collection recapture the ancient oral traditions of the Norsemen. These mythological poems include the Voluspo, one of the broadest literary conceptions of the world's creation and ultimate destruction; the Lokasenna, a comedy bursting with vivid characterizations; and more.
