"The Elder Eddas of Sæmund Sigfusson" and "The Younger Eddas of Snorre Sturleson" are translated collections of ancient Norse mythological poems and narratives likely compiled in the 13th century, reflecting the rich tapestry of Norse mythology and culture. These works delve deep into the stories of gods, giants, and legendary heroes, serving as significant records of the beliefs and values of the Viking Age. The opening portion of the text introduces its origins and provides a brief overview of key figures, such as Sæmund Sigfusson, the reputed collector of the Elder Edda, and Snorre Sturleson, the compiler of the Younger Edda. It highlights the mythological essence embodied within the poems, including the story of Gunther, a king representing noble leadership intertwined with tragic romantic endeavors. In this early section, the narrative hints at the expectation of grand tales that follow, teasing readers with the depth of Norse mythology to be explored throughout the remainder of the collection.
