Myths & Legends of the Norsemen

Below you'll find a list of course texts that you can access. The important elements of all of the stories are the same, there is just a slight difference in how the stories are told. I'll make suggestions about which ones you should use for various assignments, but ultimately the choice comes down to you and your own personal preference. These resources are free and digitized by Google.

If you're looking for something a little more modern, I highly recommend this version of The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland.

If you decide to read the Eddas to get your information you must really be advanced and a future poet!
