Denmark’s great Romantic poet retold the Eddic myths as a single cycle, and this English verse translation by William Edward Frye, a former British infantry major, follows it canto by canto. Thor sets out with Loki on adventures among the giants, spells are woven on the heath, and the gods of Asgard move toward their doom. A glossary of proper names helps the reader.
A Romantic window on Norse mythology, for readers who know the Eddas and want them as poetry. Download the free EPUB.
