The Prose Edda, also known as the Younger Edda, Snorri\'s Edda (Icelandic: Snorra Edda) or simply Edda, is an Old Norse work of literature written in Iceland in the early 13th century.
It begins with a euhemerized Prologue, a section on the Norse cosmogony, panth.
The work is often assumed to have been written, or at least compiled, by the Icelandic scholar and historian Snorri Sturluson around the year 1220.
Together with the Poetic Edda, it comprises the major store of Scandinavian mythology.
