Edda
This term refers specifically to the primary sources of Norse mythology. While it is often used to describe the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, the word carries a scholarly weight, evoking the atmosphere of ancient manuscripts and the preservation of oral traditions from the Viking Age.
Because it refers to a specific genre of mythological collection, it is rarely used in casual conversation outside of academic, literary, or historical contexts. It is distinct from a general "saga," as an edda focuses more on cosmological myths and poetic wisdom than on the genealogical histories of specific families.
