Edda en prosa is a 13th-century Icelandic text written by Snorri Sturluson. It serves as a key source for Norse mythology and poetry, providing insights into the beliefs and stories of the ancient Norse people. The work is divided into three main sections: the prologue, the Gylfaginning, and the Skáldskaparmál, each exploring different aspects of mythology and poetic tradition. The Gylfaginning narrates the creation of the world and the tales of gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki. Meanwhile, the Skáldskaparmál focuses on the art of poetry, explaining various kennings and poetic devices used in Old Norse literature. Together, these sections preserve vital cultural knowledge from the Viking Age.
