- FranzFerdiNaN 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda#Prologue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda#Prologue > The Prologue is the first section of four books of the Prose Edda, consisting of a euhemerized Christian account of the origins of Norse mythology: the Nordic gods are described as human Trojan warriors who left Troy after the fall of that city (an origin similar to the one chosen by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century to account for the ancestry of the British nation, and which parallels Virgil's Aeneid).
- neaden 4y agoThe introduction of the Prose Edda is really wild. Snorri basically tries to synthesize his understanding of history, the Eddas, and the Bible to explain how many of these are the same people or describing the same events.
