Skáldskaparmál is a poetic work from the Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems. It is primarily a dialogue between the god Bragi and the giant Ægir, focusing on the nature of poetry and the art of skaldic verse. The text explores various kennings, which are metaphorical expressions used in Norse poetry. The work is divided into two main sections: the first discusses the origins of poetry and the gods, while the second presents a series of mythological stories. Skáldskaparmál serves as a valuable resource for understanding Norse mythology and the cultural significance of poetry in Viking society.
