An episode from 10/19/22: In this second episode on Norse Mythology, I read from the creation myths found in the poem, “Voluspa,” found in the Poetic Edda, and from its corresponding sections in the Prose Edda. I also read from commentaries on these sections. The translation of the Poetic Edda that I read from is by ⁠Andy Orchard⁠, and the Prose Edda by ⁠Anthony Faulkes⁠. The commentary I read from on the Poetic Edda, for the last half hour of the episode, comes from the translation and commentary by ⁠Ursula Dronke⁠. As other episodes on the Norse Myths are produced, they will all be ⁠collected here⁠. Don’t forget to support Human Voices Wake Us on Substack, where you can also get our newsletter and other extras. You can also support the podcast by ordering any of my books: Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone. Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to [email protected].
