ancient Norse texts

Ancient Norse texts, like the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, are collections of mythological stories, poetry, and lore from the Norse people. They recount tales of gods like Odin and Thor, hero adventures, and beliefs about the cosmos, including Ragnarok, the eventual end of the world. These texts offer insights into Norse culture, values, and spirituality, written in poetic and prose forms using Old Norse language. They are valuable for understanding the mythology, history, and worldview of Scandinavian societies during the Viking Age.
