The EDDA is a medieval Icelandic collection of poems and stories, written in the 13th century. It is an important source of Norse mythology and contains many stories about gods, giants, and heroes. The EDDA is divided into two parts: the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. The Poetic Edda is a collection of mythological and heroic poems, while the Prose Edda is a handbook for skaldic poetry. Both parts of the EDDA are essential to understanding Norse mythology and culture.
