Four of the great works of mythology and legend, brought together! Learn the stories of Odin, Thor, Loki, Seigfried, and Beowulf, in their earliest written forms. Encounter gods, giants, dragons, and monsters. Thrill to the tales that have captured the human imagination for over a thousand years.
Norse and Germanic mythology are cousins, sharing themes, settings, and characters. The Poetic Edda was likely composed in Scandinavia by bards singing of their gods and heroes. The Prose Edda was composed in Iceland, by a scholar seeking to combine these songs into a coherent and easily readable whole. The Volsung Saga is also Norse, tracing the adventures and tragedies of a royal family. Beowulf is a Germanic poem which takes place in Norse lands with Norse characters. Now you can compare and contrast these myths yourself, all while being swept away by their colorful characters, epic adventures, and sombre winter atmosphere. With several new essays providing historical context, including an extensive explanation of the background lore in the Beowulf poem!
Music Credit: Wagner's Overture to Tannhauser performed by the U.S. Marine Band

"Myths of the Norsemen" by H.A. Guerber is an extensive retelling of the legends and myths of the Norse pantheon. Published in the early 20th century, Guerber's work is one of the most comprehensive and accessible English renditions of the stories of the Norse gods, goddesses, heroes, and the world they inhabit.

The Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda are our oldest written sources for Norse mythology. When it comes to the norse myths, they are the closest thing we have to listening these stories as the vikings actually told them, around those ancient campfires so long ago. It is my hope that you will enjoy this collection, and that the two books will work in tandem to broaden and deepen your appreciation for these epic and mystical stories, and the enigmatic culture that spawned them.

The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological, and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc.

From the translator of the best-selling Poetic Edda comes a gripping new rendering of two of the greatest sagas of Old Norse literature. Together the two sagas recount the story of seven generations of a single legendary heroic family and comprise our best source of traditional lore about its members - including, among others, the dragon slayer Sigurd, Brynhild the Valkyrie, and the Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok.

Eight hundred years ago, an heir to the Vikings collected their myths and wrote them down. Here are those original tales of Odin and Thor, magic and might, presented for your listening enjoyment. The Prose Edda (also known as Snorri's Edda or The Younger Edda) is a manual of poetics written by Snorri Sturluson around the year 1220. In it, Snorri compiled the old myths and legends of the Norsemen, in order that poets from his time might draw on these stories to keep the Icelandic-Viking heritage alive.

Although based on historical persons from the ninth century, Ragnar Lodbrok and his sons are the subjects of compelling legends dating from the Viking era. Warriors, raiders, and rulers, Ragnar and his sons inspired unknown writers to set down their stories over seven centuries ago. This volume presents new and original translations of the three major Old Norse texts that tell Ragnar's story.
