Major worksPoetic Edda
A collection of Old Norse poems preserved in medieval Iceland, the single richest source for Norse mythology and heroic legend. Its verses tell of the creation and doom of the world, the deeds of Odin, Thor, and Loki, and the tragedies of gods and heroes, forming the foundation of nearly everything we know of the pagan North.
