Die Lieder Der Alteren Edda (Saemundar Edda) [German]

By Hugo Gering, Theodor Möbius, Karl Hildebrand

Die Lieder der lteren Edda (Saemundar Edda) presents a German translation of the poetic collection known as the Poetic Edda or Elder Edda. Compiled in Iceland during the 13th century, this collection preserves mythological and heroic lays originating from the Viking Age. This edition, prepared by Hugo Gering and Karl Hildebrand, offers readers access to foundational texts of Norse mythology and Germanic heroic legend. The poems explore themes of creation, destruction, fate, and the interactions between gods and heroes. These songs offer invaluable insights into the worldview, beliefs, and cultural values of the Norse people. Preserved and transmitted orally for centuries before being written down, the Eddic poems continue to inspire and captivate readers interested in mythology, literature, and history.
