The term 'Classic Icelandic Works' refers to two important works of literature from Iceland, the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. The Poetic Edda is a collection of Old Norse poems from the Viking Age, while the Prose Edda is a handbook of Norse mythology written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century. Both works are essential to understanding the culture and history of Iceland and have been studied for centuries.
