| Summary | "Edda: taruopillinen alkuosa; Gylfin harhanäky (Gylfaginning)" by Snorri Sturluson is an ancient Icelandic work that falls within the genre of mythological prose written in the early 14th century. This text serves as a key source for Norse mythology, recounting the origins of the cosmos and the pantheon of gods, exploring themes of creation, power, and fate. The narrative primarily focuses on Gylfi, a Swedish king who is determined to understand the secret of the Aesir gods' power. The opening of this work introduces Gylfi as a curious and wise monarch who disguises himself to visit the realm of the Aesir, where he encounters three mysterious figures sitting on thrones. As Gylfi, now known as Gangleri, poses questions about the gods and the creation of the world, he receives in-depth answers that delve into Norse cosmogony, including the roles of various deities like Odin, Thor, and the creation of Earth from the body of the frost giant Ymir. The detailed dialogue provides an intriguing glimpse into the intricate mythology surrounding creation, the nature of the gods, and the fate of humanity. This sets the stage for profound insights into Norse beliefs and legends, inviting readers to explore the rich tapestry of ancient Scandinavian storytelling.
