Eddic mythological poems
Eddic mythological poems are traditional Norse poetic texts found in the Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems from medieval Scandinavia. These poems explore Norse gods, heroes, creation, cosmos, and end-times through lyrical storytelling and symbolic language. They offer insights into Norse beliefs, values, and cosmology, often composed in a poetic and metaphorical style. While rooted in ancient oral traditions, their themes remain relevant, reflecting human struggles, the divine, and the inevitable cycles of change in the universe.
