She sees, coming up a second time, Earth from the ocean, eternally green the
waterfalls plunge, an eagle soars above them, over the mountain hunting fish.' After
the terrible conflagration of Ragnarok, the earth rises serenely again from the ocean,
and life is renewed. The Poetic Edda begins with The Seeress's Prophecy which
recounts the creation of the world, and looks forward to its destruction and rebirth. In
this great collection of Norse-Icelandic mythological and heroic poetry, the exploits of
gods and humans are related. The one-eyed Odin, red-bearded Thor, Loki the
trickster, the lovely goddesses and the giants who are their enemies walk beside the
heroic Helgi, Sigurd the Dragon-Slayer, Brynhild the shield-maiden, and the
implacable Gudrun. New in this revised translation are the quest-poem The Lay of
Svipdag and The Waking of Angantyr, in which a girl faces down her dead father to
retrieve his sword. Comic, tragic, instructive, grandiose, witty and profound, the
poems of the Edda have influenced artists from Wagner to Tolkien and a new
generation of video-game and film makers. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years
