{{Norse paganism}}{{italic title}}

Poetic Edda is the modern attribution for an unnamed collection of Old Norse anonymous poems, which is different from the Edda written by Snorri Sturluson. Several versions exist, all primarily of text from the Icelandic medieval manuscript known as the Codex Regius. The Codex Regius is arguably the most important extant source on Norse mythology and Germanic heroic legends. From the early 19th century onwards, it has had a powerful influence on later Scandinavian literatures. Not only by its stories, but also by the visionary force and the dramatic quality of many of the poems. It has also become an inspiring model for many later innovations in poetic meter, particularly in Nordic languages, offering many varied examples of terse, stress-based metrical schemes that lack any final rhyme by instead using alliterative devices and strongly-concentrated imagery. Poets who have acknowledged their debt to the Codex Regius include Vilhelm Ekelund, August Strindberg, J. R. R. Tolkien, Ezra Pound, Jorge Luis Borges, and Karin Boye.

Codex Regius was written in the 13th century, but nothing is known of its whereabouts until 1643, when it came into the possession of Brynjólfur Sveinsson, then Bishop of Skálholt. At the time, versions of the Edda were known in Iceland, but scholars speculated that there once was another Edda, an Elder Edda, which contained the pagan poems that Snorri quotes in his Edda. When Codex Regius was discovered, it seemed that the speculation had proved, but modern scholarly research has shown that Edda was likely written first and the two were, at most, connected by a common source.[1]

Brynjólfur attributed the manuscript to Sæmundr the Learned, a larger-than-life 12th century Icelandic priest. That attribution is rejected by modern scholars, but the name Sæmundar Edda is still sometimes associated with both the "Codex Regius" and versions of "Poetic Edda" using it as a source.

Bishop Brynjólfur sent Codex Regius as a present to the Danish king, which gave the name. For centuries, it was stored in the Royal Library in Copenhagen but in 1971, it was returned to Iceland.

Composition

The Eddic poems are composed in alliterative verse. Most are in fornyrðislag, while málaháttr is a common variation. The rest, about a quarter, are composed in ljóðaháttr. The language of the poems is usually clear and relatively unadorned. Kennings are often employed, though they do not arise as frequently, nor are they as complex, as those found in skaldic poetry.

Authorship

Like most early poetry, the Eddic poems were minstrel poems, passing orally from singer to singer and from poet to poet for centuries. None of the poems are attributed to a particular author, though many of them show strong individual characteristics and are likely to have been the work of individual poets. Scholars sometimes speculate on hypothetical authors, but firm and accepted conclusions have never been reached.

Date

The dating of the poems has been a source of lively scholarly argument for a long time, and firm conclusions are hard to reach. Lines from the Eddic poems sometimes appear in poems by known poets, but such evidence is difficult to evaluate. For example, Eyvindr skáldaspillir composed in the latter half of the 10th century, and he uses a couple of lines in his Hákonarmál which are also found in Hávamál. It is possible that he was quoting a known poem, but it is also possible that Hávamál, or at least the strophe in question, is the younger derivative work.

The few demonstrably historical characters mentioned in the poems, such as Attila, provide a terminus post quem of sorts. The dating of the manuscripts themselves provides a more useful terminus ante quem.

Individual poems have individual clues to their age. For example, Atlamál hin groenlenzku is claimed by its title to have been composed in Greenland, and seems so by some internal evidence. If so, it can be no earlier than about 985, since there were no Scandinavians in Greenland until that time.

In some cases, old poems may have been interpolated with younger verses or merged with other poems. For example, stanzas 9-16 of Völuspá, the "Dvergatal" or "Roster of Dwarfs", is considered by some scholars to be an interpolation.

Location

The problem of dating the poems is linked with the problem of finding out where they were composed. Iceland was not settled until about 870, so anything composed before that time would necessarily have been elsewhere, most likely in Scandinavia. Any young poems, on the other hand, are likely Icelandic in origin.

Scholars have attempted to localize individual poems by studying the geography, flora, and fauna to which they refer. This approach usually does not yield firm results. For example, there are no wolves in Iceland, but we can be sure that Icelandic poets were familiar with the species. Similarly, the apocalyptic descriptions of Völuspá have been taken as evidence that the poet who composed it had seen a volcanic eruption in Iceland - but this is hardly certain.

Editions and inclusions

Some poems similar to those found in Codex Regius are also included in some editions of the Poetic Edda. Important manuscripts include AM 748 I 4to, Hauksbók and Flateyjarbók. Many of the poems are quoted in Snorri's Edda but usually only in bits and pieces. What poems are included in an edition of the Poetic Edda depends on the editor. Those not in Codex Regius are sometimes called Eddica minora from their appearance in an edition with that title edited by Andreas Heusler and Wilhelm Ranisch in 1903.

English translators are not consistent on the translations of the names of the Eddic poems or on how the Old Norse forms should be rendered in English. Up to three translated titles are given below, taken from the translations of Bellows, Hollander, and Larrington with proper names in the normalized English forms found in John Lindow's Norse Mythology and in Andy Orchard's Cassell's Dictionary of Norse Myth and Legend.

===Mythological poems===

In Codex Regius

  • Völuspá (Wise-woman's prophecy, The Prophecy of the Seeress, The Seeress's Prophecy)
  • Hávamál (The Ballad of the High One, The Sayings of Hár, Sayings of the High One)
  • Vafþrúðnismál (The Ballad of Vafthrúdnir, The Lay of Vafthrúdnir, Vafthrúdnir's Sayings)
  • Grímnismál (The Ballad of Grímnir, The Lay of Grímnir, Grímnir's Sayings)
  • Skírnismál (The Ballad of Skírnir, The Lay of Skírnir, Skírnir's Journey)
  • Hárbarðsljóð (The Poem of Hárbard, The Lay of Hárbard, Hárbard's Song)

  • Þrymskviða (The Lay of Thrym, Thrym's Poem)
  • Völundarkviða (The Lay of Völund)
  • Alvíssmál (The Ballad of Alvís, The Lay of Alvís, All-Wise's Sayings)

Not in Codex Regius

  • Baldrs draumar (Baldr's Dreams)
  • Gróttasöngr (The Mill's Song, The Song of Grotti)
  • Rígsþula (The Song of Ríg, The Lay of Ríg, The List of Ríg)
  • Hyndluljóð (The Poem of Hyndla, The Lay of Hyndla, The Song of Hyndla)
    • Völuspá in skamma (The short Völuspá, The Short Seeress' Prophecy, Short Prophecy of the Seeress) - This poem, sometimes presented separately, is often included as an interpolation within Hyndluljóð.
  • Svipdagsmál (The Ballad of Svipdag, The Lay of Svipdag) - This title, originally suggested by Bugge, actually covers two separate poems. These poems are late works and not included in most editions after 1950:
    • Grógaldr (Gróa's Spell, The Spell of Gróa)
    • Fjölsvinnsmál (Ballad of Fjölsvid, The Lay of Fjölsvid)
  • Hrafnagaldr Óðins (Odins's Raven Song, Odin's Raven Chant). (A late work not included in most editions after 1900).
  • Gullkársljóð (The Poem of Gullkár). (A late work not included in most editions after 1900).

===Heroic lays===

After the mythological poems, Codex Regius continues with heroic lays about mortal heroes. The heroic lays are to be seen as a whole in the Edda, but they consist of three layers: the story of Helgi Hundingsbani, the story of the Nibelungs, and the story of Jörmunrekkr, king of the Goths. These are, respectively, Scandinavian, German, and Gothic in origin. As far as historicity can be ascertained, Attila, Jörmunrekkr, and Brynhildr actually existed, taking Brynhildr to be partly based on Brunhilda of Austrasia, but the chronology has been reversed in the poems.

In Codex Regius

The Helgi Lays
  • Helgakviða Hundingsbana I or Völsungakviða (The First Lay of Helgi Hundingsbane, The First Lay of Helgi the Hunding-Slayer, The First Poem of Helgi Hundingsbani)
  • Helgakviða Hjörvarðssonar (The Lay of Helgi the Son of Hjörvard, The Lay of Helgi Hjörvardsson, The Poem of Helgi Hjörvardsson)
  • Helgakviða Hundingsbana II or Völsungakviða in forna (The Second Lay of Helgi Hundingsbane, The Second Lay of Helgi the Hunding-Slayer, A Second Poem of Helgi Hundingsbani)

  • Frá dauða Sinfjötla (Of Sinfjötli's Death, Sinfjötli's Death, The Death of Sinfjötli) (A short prose text.)
  • Grípisspá (Grípir's Prophecy, The Prophecy of Grípir)
  • Reginsmál (The Ballad of Regin, The Lay of Regin)

  • Oddrúnargrátr (The Lament of Oddrún, The Plaint of Oddrún, Oddrún's Lament)
  • Atlakviða (The Lay of Atli). The full manuscript title is Atlakviða hin grœnlenzka, that is, The Greenland Lay of Atli, but editors and translators generally omit the Greenland reference as a probable error from confusion with the following poem.
  • Atlamál hin groenlenzku (The Greenland Ballad of Atli, The Greenlandish Lay of Atli, The Greenlandic Poem of Atli)
The Jörmunrekkr Lays
  • Guðrúnarhvöt (Gudrún's Inciting, Gudrún's Lament, The Whetting of Gudrún.)
  • Hamðismál (The Ballad of Hamdir, The Lay of Hamdir)

Not in Codex Regius

Several of the legendary sagas contain poetry in the Eddic style. Its age and importance is often difficult to evaluate but the Hervarar saga, in particular, contains interesting poetic interpolations.

  • Hlöðskviða (Lay of Hlöd, also known in English as The Battle of the Goths and the Huns), extracted from Hervarar saga.
  • The Waking of Angantýr, extracted from Hervarar saga.

English translations

The Eldar or Poetic Edda has been translated numerous times, the earliest printed edition being that by {{harvnb|Cottle|1797}}, though some short sections had been translated as early as the 1670s. Some early translators relied on a Latin translation of the Edda, including Cottle.[2]

Opinions differ on the best way to translated the text, on the use or rejection of archaic language, and the rendering of terms lacking a clear English analogue. However Cottle's 1797 translation is considered very inaccurate.[2]

A comparison of the second and third verses (lines 5-12) of the Voluspa is given below :

Ek man jǫtna

ár of borna,

þás forðum mik

fœdda hǫfðu ;

níu mank hęima,

níu ívíði,

mjǫtvið mæran

fyr mold neðan.

Ár vas alda

þars Ymir byggði,

vasa sandr né sær,

né svalar unnir ;

jǫrð fansk æva

né upphiminn ;

gap vas ginnunga,

ęn gras hvęrgi.

{{harv|Jónsson|1932}} (unchanged orthography)

The Jötuns I remember

early born,

those who me of old

have reared.

I nine worlds remember,

nine trees,

the great central tree,

beneath the earth.

The was in times of old,

where Ymir dwelt,

nor sand nor sea,

nor gelid waves ;

earth existed not,

nor heaven above,

'twas a chaotic chasm,

and grass nowhere,

{{harv|Thorpe|1866}}

I remember the Giants born of yore,

who bred me up long ago.

I remember nine Worlds, nine Sibyls,

a glorious Judge beneath the earth.

In the beginning, when naught was,

there was neither sand nor sea nor the cold waves,

nor was earth to be seen nor heaven above.

There was a Yawning Chasm [chaos], but grass nowhere,

{{harv|Vigfússon|Powell|1883}} †

I remember of yore   were born the Jötuns,

they who aforetime   fostered me :

nine worlds I remember,   nine in the Tree,

the glorious Fate Tree   that springs 'neath the Earth.

'Twas the earliest of times   when Ymir lived ;

then was sand nor sea   nor cooling wave,

nor was Earth found ever,   nor Heaven on high,

there was Yawning of Deeps   and nowhere grass :

{{harv|Bray|1908}}

I remember yet   the giants of yore,

Who gave me bread   in the days gone by ;

Nine worlds I knew,   the nine in the tree

With mighty roots   beaneath the mold.

Of old was the age   when Ymir lived ;

Sea nor cool waves   nor sand there were ;

Earth had not been,   nor heaven above,

But a yawning gap,   and grass nowhere.

{{harv|Bellows|1923}}

I call to mind the kin of etins

which long ago did give me life.

Nine worlds I know, the nine abodes

of the glorious world-tree the ground beneath.

In earliest times did Ymir live:

was nor sea nor land nor salty waves,

neither earth was there nor upper heaven,

but a gaping nothing, and green things nowhere.

{{harv|Hollander|1962}}

I tell of Giants from times forgotten.

Those who fed me in former days:

Nine worlds I can reckon, nine roots of the Tree.

The wonderful Ash, way under the ground

When Ymir lived long ago

Was no sand or sea, no surging waves.

Nowhere was there earth nor heaven above.

But a grinning gap and grass nowhere.

{{harv|Auden|Taylor|1969}}

I remember giants   of ages past,

those who called me   one of their kin;

I know how nine roots   form nine worlds

under the earth   where the Ash Tree rises.

Nothing was there   when time began,

neither sands nor seas   nor cooling waves,

Earth was not yet,   nor the high heavens,

but a gaping emptiness   nowhere green.

{{harv|Terry|1990}}

I, born of giants, remember very early

those who nurtured me then;

I remember nine worlds, I remember nine giant women,

the mighty Measuring-Tree below the earth.

Young were the years when Ymir made his settlement,

there was no sand nor sea nor cool waves;

earth was nowhere nor the sky above,

chaos yawned, grass was there nowhere.

{{harv|Larrington|1996}}

I remember giants

born early in time,

who long ago

had reared me

Nine worlds I remember,

nine wood-ogresses,

glorious tree of good measure,

under the ground.

It was early in the ages

when Ymir made his dwelling:

There was not sand nor sea

nor chill waves.

Earth was not to be found

nor above it heaven:

a gulf was there of gaping voids

and grass nowhere,

{{harv|Dronke|1997}}

I recall those giants, born early on,

who long ago brought me up;

nine worlds I recall, nine wood-dwelling witches,

the famed tree of fate down under the earth.

It was early in ages when Ymir made his home,

there was neither sand nor sea, nor cooling waves;

no earth to be found, nor heaven above:

a gulf beguiling, nor grass anywhere.

{{harv|Orchard|2011}}

I remember being reared by Jotuns,

in days long gone. If I look back, I recall

nine worlds, nine wood-witches,

that renowned tree of fate below the Earth

Ymir struck camp when time began.

No land, sand or sea folding on itself,

no sky, earth or grass swaying atop its girth,

only the cavern of chaos's gaping gulf.

{{harv|Dodds|2014}}

I remember giants born early in time

those nurtured me long ago;

I remember nine worlds, I remember nine giant women,

the mighty Measuring-Tree below the earth.

Early in time Ymir made his settlement,

there was no sand nor sea nor cool waves;

earth was nowhere nor the sky above,

a void of yawning chaos, grass was there nowhere

{{harv|Larrington|2014}}

I remember the giants

born so long ago;

in those ancient days

they raised me.

I remember nine worlds,

nine giantesses,

and the seed

from which Yggdrasil sprang.

It was at the very beginning,

it was Ymir's time,

there was no sand, no sea,

no cooling waves,

no earth,

no sky,

no grass,

just Gunnungagap.

Allusions and quotations

  • As noted above, the Edda of Snorri Sturluson makes much use of the works included in the Poetic Edda, though he may well have had access to other compilations that contained the poems and there is no evidence that he used the Poetic Edda or even knew of it.
  • The Volsungasaga is a prose version of much of the Niflung cycle of poems. Due to several missing pages (see Great Lacuna) in the Codex Regius, the Volsungasaga is the oldest source for the Norse version of much of the story of Sigurð. Only 22 stanzas of the Sigurðarkviðu survive in the Codex Regius, plus four stanzas from the missing section which are quoted in the Volsungasaga.
  • J. R. R. Tolkien, a philologist and de facto Professor of Old Norse familiar with the Eddas, utilized concepts in his 1937 fantasy novel The Hobbit, and in other works:
    • The Misty Mountains derive from the úrig fiöll in the Skírnismál.[3]
    • The names of his Dwarves derive from the Dvergatal in the Völuspá.[4]
    • His Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún is a verse retelling or reconstruction of the Nibelung poems from the Edda (see Völsunga saga), composed in the Eddaic fornyrðislag metre.
