Amazon Description:
Six Edda poems presented in their original Old Norse text alongside a new translation and interpretation (as well as interpretations of mythical names and place names) by Maria Kvilhaug, author of The Seed of Yggdrasill - Deciphering the Hidden Messages in Old Norse Myths.
The Edda poems were written down in the Old Norse language by Icelandic scholars during the 11th to 13th centuries AD.
They contain a poetical, metaphorical lore about Cosmos and the fate of mortals on the path to immortality. A lore that is, despite having been transmitted in writing by medieval monks and scholars, deeply steeped in ancient Pre-Christian beliefs.
