Gylfaginning
Gylfaginning, or the tricking of Gylfi, is the first part of the
Christian poet and historian
Snorri Sturluson's
Edda. The Gylfaginning deals with the creation and destruction of the world of the Norse gods, and many other aspects of
Norse mythology. The second part is called the
Skáldskaparmál. Together, the two works are known as the 'Younger Edda', so-called to distinguish it from the Elder Edda.
