Snorri Sturluson
The Viking Politician Who Saved Norse Mythology From Oblivion
I wrote the myths so they would never die.
From the cold halls of Iceland, I gathered the whispers of our ancestors and gave them ink and form. I walked with kings and skalds, but it is the voices of the old ones — the storytellers and the seers — that echo in my bones. In Reykholt, by firelight, I penned the Edda so that even when the last of the wise are gone, the gods will not be forgotten.
What I'm Into: the Poetic Edda, mead-hall songs, runes carved in stone, the All-Father's riddles, frost-covered sagas
