Jackson Crawford is releasing an indepth study on and translation of Havamål later this year. It will definitely become the prime basis of Norse mythological research henceforth.

Unironically.
One is actually orally transmitted myths, the other is a fanfiction and romanized study on norse poetry.

How can Anglos be so retarded?

"Edda" is literally old norse for "a book".

Snorra-Edda (what the Anglos call "Poetic Edda") somehow becomes "the Edda" ("The book") in the tiny Anglo brain.

There are hundreds of eddas out there and Snorra Edda is one of them.

I agree that anglos are retards, but so are you.

>Snorra-Edda (what the Anglos call "Poetic Edda")

The Snorre-Edda (the "prose Edda") and the poetic Edda are completely different books, written centuries apart, for very different purposes. Edda meaning "book" is also not completely certain.

In any case, OP should read the poetic Edda.

>spells Snorri using modern norwegian

This thread is full of retards.

>uses latin alphabet instead of runes carved in tree trunks abd rocks

Plebs

Not a anglo, but a fingol. Jesus christ you fags become insufferable when someone else speaks about vikings, whining how others don't pronounce or write it correctly. Average scandinavian becomes a like a average swede when talking about vikings, although little more gayer than your average swede.

>norwegian

I am Swedish.

watch one of those "norse mythology in 10 minutes" videos on youtube
