About the author

Snorri Sturluson

d. 1241

A towering figure in medieval Iceland, this poet, historian, and political leader helped preserve much of what the world knows about Norse mythology and the early kings of Scandinavia. His works, especially the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, still shape how readers imagine the Viking Age.
