The Poetic Edda / 诗体埃达

The Poetic Edda is the Old Norse poetic collection introduced by [[XiaoChuzhou|萧楚舟]] in EP269 从“漫威宇宙”到《奥德赛》：为何总要翻拍英雄史诗？. The source presents it as material written down in medieval Iceland but rooted in older oral tradition across the Norse world.

The episode distinguishes the Poetic Edda from [[ProseEdda|《散文埃达》]] by treating it as less unified and more song-like: a collection of divine and heroic materials around [[Odin|奥丁]], [[Thor|托尔]], [[Loki|洛基]], [[Valhalla|瓦尔哈拉]], [[Ragnarok|诸神的黄昏]], world creation, and old heroic memory.
