The Great Myths #21: The Story of Creation in the Norse Eddas

The Great Myths #21: The Story of Creation in the Norse Eddas Human Voices Wake Us

An episode from 10/19/22: In this second episode on Norse Mythology, I read from the creation myths found in the poem, “Voluspa,” found in the Poetic Edda, and from its corresponding sections in the Prose Edda. I also read from commentaries on these sections.

The translation of the Poetic Edda that I read from is by ⁠⁠Andy Orchard⁠⁠, and the Prose Edda by ⁠⁠Anthony Faulkes⁠⁠. The commentary I read from on the Poetic Edda, for the last half hour of the episode, comes from the translation and commentary by ⁠⁠Ursula Dronke⁠⁠.
